Not russian, Spanish. This sort of thing has been done many times before. The SAS regularly train with live persons as "hostages" and even have had members of the British royal family stand in, so they will know what to do if they ever have to be rescued (hint: it involves doing only one thing, which is easier said than done... hold still no matter what!). I used to practice the shotgun hostage rescue shot regularly. You aim above the ear opposite of where the hostage's head is. Half the pellets miss entirely, the other half land in the bad guy's head. You need to know the spread of your loading in that particular shotgun and even then its not useful beyond, say, ten yards. I practiced it nearly every time I shot my Benelli but I still would be hard pressed to try it if someone I loved was downrange. On the other hand, if some random stoic Mexican was willing to stand there, well I might make a pretty cool Youtube video.... |

I seriously doubt that any members of the "royal family" have ever been involved in any live fire training with them actually being down range. |

I have a photo in an old book of Prince Charles and Princess Diana just after the flash bang went off, with SAS guys charging through the room putting holes in cardboard bad guys. He's sitting straight up and grinning his head off, and she has her face down on the table with her hands covering her ears. If I get around to it I will try to scan the pic and post it here. |

The US Counter Terrorist Joint Task Force CTJTF used to have an open invitation to High Ranking "Visitors"
They would seat them in an airliner cabin mockup or a room or whatever and have a team do a live fire breach... Guys at the run with pistols and SMGs storm the airplane or room and are literally firing rounds within INCHES of the spectators and NEVER an accident... Would I CHOOSE to do this with any of you all? Ummmm welllll about that... I did however allow E1CM and Duke to make entry in a simulation BEHIND me... WITH Live Weapons! I returned the favor too and still didn't shoot any of them... |
