A tall guy is actually more likely to get shot. A bigger body means that there's a higher chance for a bullet to hit his body. Bigger tall men also are not agile and probably wouldn't be able to dodge a bullet fast enough. Also can get mutilated with a knife too. Also in war a bigger head means an easier chance to get a head shot from a sniper. Tall men had and still have a hard time fitting into tanks. Shorter men can fit into tanks and basically blast away at tall men killing them instantly. Deadliest sniper was 5'3. Tall men aren't Gods FYI

Height has nothing to do with it! I'm 6' 9". I still had over $2000 worth of drum gear stolen from me in a 20 year period, I still had my house stolen from me by my greedy ex-sisters and I still was a hit & run victim.

That update is pretty stupid.

Criminals don't look at height. They look at what you have. It doesn't matter if you are 5'6 or 6'2. If I point my ruger 22 at your tall 6ft2 guy, he's still going to flop on the ground like any other guy. We have no shields, no tough skin. That bullet will go through and hit one of his vitals. Bags of meat. A taller guy is just a bigger target, easier to aim at.

to a 9mm it really doesn't matter. All you have to know is how tall they are, so you know how far to stand back so they don't mess up your shoes when they fall.

Height has little to do with man being least likely to become a victim of violent crime, it comes down to the body language of the man, if there two guys on 5'6" one 6'2", if the 5'6" one is projecting self confidence and 6'2" one is projecting fear and vulnerability, it is the 6'2" one who will targeted before the 5'6" one as he will be seen as the weakest even with him being physically larger.

You could be 7 foot tall, but when you live in some drug ghetto where anyone just pulls a gun on you… end of story.

It is so childish and immature to put a mans ability to defend himself on his height. They have police and bouncers who are short people, they manage alright

6'2 because they are the rarest men on the list by population size

zagor · Answer

This makes no sense. A 5'8 225 lb athlete is going to be better protection than a 6'4 160 lb elderly man.

6ft 2+. Taller men in general are more intimidating and most people would think twice before messing with them.
