re: #74 Kryptik

McClane was a NYPD cop, so he had at least some kind of training in various real-world scenarios, as opposed to target practice in static environment. Even then, the LAPD wanted him to do nothing, since it could jeopardize the other hostages.

You’re right though. All the gun nuts think that they’re McClane. Even though odds are most of them would end up dead or seriously injured, and their firearms in the hands of the attacker. Or injure or kill others in the room with them not the attacker.
