US Marine Corps Rules For Gunfighting

1. Be courteous to everyone, friendly to no one.
2. Be aggressive ENOUGH, quickly ENOUGH.
3. Have a plan.
4. Have a back-up plan, because the first one probably won't work.
5. Be polite and professional, but have a plan to kill everyone you meet.
6. Do not attend a gunfight with a handgun whose caliber does not start with a 4.
7. Anything worth shooting is worth shooting twice. Ammo is cheap. Life is expensive.
8. Move away from your attacker; distance is your friend. (Lateral and diagonal movement are preferred.)
9. Use cover or concealment as much as possible.
10. Flank your adversary when possible; protect yours.
11. Always cheat; always win. The only unfair fight is the one you lose.
12. In 10 years nobody will remember the details of caliber, stance, or tactics. They will only remember who lived.
13. If you are not shooting, you should be communicating and reloading.
14. Someday someone may kill you with your own gun, but they should have to beat you to death with it because it is empty.
15. When in doubt, fix bayonets, empty the magazine, throw all your grenades, and charge.
16. When in grave doubt, ask the Gunny for advice, which will be to charge faster while shouting graphic descriptions to the enemy of what you are about to do to him. Example: "I am going to kill you, dirtbag! I am going to kill you slow! I am going to skin you and build a kayak out of your ribcage and a humidor out of your skull!"
17. And above all ... don't drop your guard.
