Most people don't have the laser rangefinder capability to know what is 42 yards versus 57 yards versus 100 yards under extreme stress. They do have a subconscious ability to understand danger, which, hopefully, they can articulate in words after a life threating event occurs. Distances in common places like movie theaters and restaurants can easily exceed 25 or even 50 yards, and a bad person with a gun, such as the Batman movie dude, can easily cover exits with fire and penetrate stuff like seat cushions. A shooter in a fixed position such as a sniper or trapped shooter can control long ranges, and some victims may be trapped close in with some cover or concealment but no other place to go without risking major exposure.
Excellent points.
