I've never agreed with that you can only quickdraw pistols. I know of a few
japanese sword forms which are based on a quick-kill strike as you draw the
blade. The results are a usually lethal move starting from sword in sheath to
sword slashed through victem's vitals in usually about 1 second od movement.

That and a small SMG (like a MAC-10 or mini-uzi) in a side mounted holster can
easilly be drawn and fired twice in 3 seconds.

Same thing with drawing and throwing knives. It's usually one quick-fluid
movement to draw and throw. I know personally, I can draw and throw at least 2
in 3 seconds.

Just a few comments.
