    Ambushes, drive bys, breaking in to sectarian enemies houses at 3am and killing everyone inside.

    This. We have long figured out how to murk dudes in civilian settings while minimizing the risk of getting shot ourselves. Just shoot someone out of a moving car. Shoot them when they're sleeping. Just pop out of nowhere with like 4 other dudes and shoot a guy while he's at a cafe with the boys. That's how the mob does it, that's how the cartels do it too. Cowardice goes a long way in not dying.

    But that shit is not as fun to "practice". That doesn't make you feel like a tough badass. This room clearing stuff is exciting to practice because it does put you in line of fire. Which is also why nobody ever does it in real life.

    I'm the first to admit that I'd immediately piss my pants if I got into an actual life-or-death situation where someone might shoot me, but at least I don't delude myself into thinking otherwise.

    Edit: Wish the pigs had done some epic room clearing during the fucking Uvalde shooting.
