Well, you might try with 9×39mm at longer distances, but even that would be stretching realism, since at about 300m distance you’d have about one second before impact, the bullet travels slightly slower than sound, so assuming you’d be capable of hearing the gunshot (unlikely since, afaik, all 9×39mm guns have integrated suppressors, and the subsonic velocity means lower shot/sound volume as well), you’d still be reduced to having only a fraction of a second to react to it.[/quote]
You would have a better chance of reacting to the muzzle flash than to the sound. By the time you heard the sound you’d be feeling the impact as it exiting/shredded your body. But that’s even than a tiny margin, if you were looking in the correct direction.
Being smaller means your balance for muscle mass is better. Large muscles are not as flexible. Look at gymnasts.
It is not just about the the ‘bar’ routines. Lower Center of mass against gravity.
Other reasons why smaller have higher reactions in general with the same training. The body has a shorter neural network.
A better rotational capability, and faster limb acceleration as it has to move in a smaller distance.
better power to mass ratio.
Overall better agility do the the above things
Lesser chance of heat exhaustion
Higher endurance
Larger people get higher speed (longer/larger muscles etc. Agility is not speed)
Longer Reach
Higher raw strength
Lower heart rate, and less likely to be less dehydrated as the body can store more water.
More power
