CCTV footage recorded in Honduras captures an intense few seconds as an armed car-jacker comes face-to-face with an armed victim who refuses to back down. As soon as the victim realizes the intent of the robber, he draws down and opens fire.

Fortunately for both men, it doesn't appear that either of them were seriously wounded in the brief engagement. This is the kind of situation where flat range skills come in handy. Drawing from concealment, engaging close range threats, and getting off-line with your attacker are very important skill sets to have if you ever find yourself in a similar situation to this.
