120. Visit a shooting range sometime.
Have them give you a target about the size of a leg, set it 20 feet away, and try to hit it. If you haven't shot a gun before, not only will you miss, but you wont even know in which direction you missed.

And that's going to be far, far easier than hitting the leg of a suspect who is charging with a knife.

To continue the farce above, give yourself a nerf gun and, in that second you've got, decide how to stop the kid. I suspect, in the playful moment, you'll shoot, miss, drop the gun and wrestle. The kid will still wind up cutting you. Or, if you DO get the marker away, the kid will see the gun you dropped sitting on the floor, pick it up and shoot you with it.

Nice going, hero.

Honestly, try either one of these things. Let us know how it goes. If you can hit the target, if you can stop the kid, maybe you should become a cop?
