Using a gun

So I came across this video and thought it was a pretty good argument for not carrying a gun.

Then, I came to this conclusion...
These people are given guns and and put in a situation where they are supposed to use them. That's why they failed. Now I've never been in any type of combat and have never had a gun pulled on me so I may just be talking out of my ass. Wouldn't taking cover be the first thing you'd instinctively do? Maybe hit the ground and then reach for the weapon? That's kind of why I think the video is bullshit. I get the whole tunnel vision thing, but these guys got hit because they were trying to use the weapon more than they were trying to protect themselves.
