If that was me being held hostage, I wouldn’t know whether to call the guy’s bluff and try to escape, or assume he’s a dumb ass that doesn’t know better.

You know you’re an operator when…. you shoot full auto from the hip around a live target while training.
Additional unnecessary stupidity involving a pistol.

Probably all good advice if you are willing to take the chance of dying at the hands of your captor. Often though, you are going to have some pissed off captors on your hands once they figure out they are not getting all that they demand.
