That Zoom is in the CW show, which is arguably the weakest Flash out of all the Flashes thus far. In the Comics, the Flash is so fast, he reset the entire DC timeline and rebooted it to become the New 52. Yet that exact Flash manages to be caught off guard numerous times.

Going back on topic: Stiles asked her for the gun and she said "I'm not giving you a gun," before unloading the clip at Stiles, who was caught off guard and dropped it. Stiles had no reason to suspect she would have done so, especially given the fact that she's a professional and should know better than throwing guns, unloaded or not, at someone.


 * "All im saying is that stiles needs more training and he would be a better cop. may be your right on fact that catching a gun and using a gun doesnt have any relation but i dont agree"

Nobody is denying that Stiles would need to be trained. He has the mind of a detective but he wasn't trained by the Academy. Of course he's going to need training.

It's not a matter of "maybe," it's a matter of being right. For example, I could have catlike reflexes and catch everything thrown at me. Doesn't mean I can shoot a gun. On the other hand, I could have shitty reflexes and drop almost everything thrown at me, yet I can be a crackshot with a gun. There's no relation between reflexes and ability to do something.


 * "but as a person who has had the training of handling a gun and shooting i say that there is a relation."

And I'm telling you, as someone who was specifically trained in all elements of armed policing (one of which is advanced weapons handling of a lot of weapons), there's no relation. We had this guy, we called him Teddy. Teddy had shit reflexes. I used to toss him water, crisps and keys, at one point, all the time and he would drop them. Yet put a Glock in his hands and he's shooting 9/10 "bullseye" shots on the shooting range targets.

Also, FYI, one of the first things we were told during this training was "Never treat a gun like a toy. If you need to give someone a gun, hand it to them, or, if they're too far, tell them to come over and get one themselves."


 * "and the reason braden didnt give the gun to stiles is because he couldnt catch the gun in the first place. and stiles said "i probably should have a gun" and you guys still say that there is no relation between catching a gun and using a gun."

No, the reason she didn't give him a gun was because she didn't trust him with a gun. She says to him "I'm not giving you a gun," before she removes the clip and throws the gun at him. He was embarassed and that part was for comedic relief, so of course he's going to say he "probably shouldn't have one." However, the fact is, there's no relation between catching a gun (especially when you're caught off guard) and using one.
