Great fun, My score seems to indicate I'm the "Shoot first ask questions later" type of guy. Hugo's Score: -125 Average reaction time: Black Armed:784.64ms Black Unarmed:837.84ms White Armed:760.92ms White Unarmed:834.4ms It seems to imply I'm only a teeny bit more likely to shoot an armed black guy, but it's mainly a pretty good argument for keeping guns illegal in England. But then I wouldn't go out armed with a keyboard with, effectively, two triggers. And people aren't likely to be demanding my wallet while armed with a mobile phone. So maybe it all works itself out.
