Walt is the one who shows up with sunglasses on and says nothing, and things just get done.

You avoid the fisticuffs, you de-escalate, you go back to your car...

You get the RPG out of the car and level the building.

If you must apply violence, it is best applied in such excessive amounts that your opponent is completely stunned. Just look at Hirohito in August 1945.

I think Walt's "hit me" was pretty spot on. Exuding pure confidence, not arrogance, in the face of opposition and set the terms of the battle later seems to be very effective in my experience. Not that I'm brawling. Lol. It works with confrontational people in discussions, as well.

Thank you! Yeah, part of the self defenses courses I used to teach included local laws and penalties for a lot of this. In most cases... don't fight the battle in conditions set by the enemy. Disengage, Re-acquire, and then set the conditions so they have to work things on your terms.

John Woo may have introduced the reload but only after the handgun fired 30. lol

Hard Boiled is still one of the best action movies of all time.
