Gun Kata

Gun Kata is a discipline featuring in the film Equilibrium and can be explained by the following passage from the film:

"The Gun Katas: Through analysis of thousands of recorded gun fights, the Cleric has determined that the geometric distribution of antagonists in any gun battle is a statistically predictable element. The Gun Kata treats the gun as a total weapon. Each new position representing a maximum kill zone, inflicting maximum damage on the maximum number of opponents, while keeping the defendant clear of the statistically traditional trajectories of return fire."

In essence Gun Kata is based upon the premise that the positions and actions of antagonists can be predicted to a high degree of accuracy in any given combat situation. If research carried out in the future proves this to be the case there is no reason why Gun Kata could not become a genuine, and highly dominant, martial art of the 21st century.
