> I want to see you attempt that in real life when someone is within 21 feet

Sadly I did not film it, but you could have been! I have attended multiple classes during which I had to disarm people with knives and other weird objects. It is absolutely possible with the right circumstances and training, but it's a completely different story when it comes to guns - the element of luck is much more meaningful, as a instructor who was shot quite a few times in their career has pointed out

You can but you absolutely should not try just because you can in training, its a last resort when it too late and all other options are not possible.
