Running away is also a poor choice against a long ranged projectile weapon.
No it isn't. It's likely to be your best choice.
Without practice, moving targets very difficult to hit, and even a target that is moving directly away from you in a straight line is a target that is rapidly shrinking in size.
If you're breaking into a car, and the owner runs up and pulls a gun on you, running away is your best option because it immediately communicates that you are not a threat, and it gives you the best chance of survival if they don't care to honor your surrender.
Because his gun is already out and you will most likely not pull out yours, aim it, and fire it before he pulls the trigger? Is that not obvious?
And because, presumably, realize you were just looking to go carjacking or stereo-stealing with your buddies, rather than get into the hot mess you've just walked into.
