Fighting against a crowd
Some thoughts from Oleg. Obviously, first thing is to get out and, also, not get trapped in. Beyond that, I think the 17 round gun and shooting the biggest/loudest/scariest antagonist right in the face for effect may deter others. Or it may not. But go down fighting.

It’s probably a good idea to keep a grenade handy.

If you have to shoot, blowing brains all over the crowd will have a beneficial effect for your escape.
But most importantly, shoot while you are moving and don’t stop for anything until you are clear. The shock will give you a few seconds, don’t waste them stunned like the crowd will. Anyone not stunned by the shot is your next target.

3 – Have similarly armed friends with you

How one trains for emergencies is how one reacts in emergencies. Practice makes master, as the old saying goes.
Unless one has a dozen friends who will do a Simunition course or paintball battle against you, realistic training for crowd violence is hard to accomplish. But at least thinking through a possible event in advance will help guide your actions if something happens.

Why my FAL mags are loaded with military ball.
The only time I see myself grabbing the FAL is if there is a riot nearby, and with that I’m GOING for overpenetration.
And JK, somebody falling over gut-shot with a through-and-through GSW screaming bloody murder might also be just as nice as an exploding skull.
