It seems likely the difference was in the expectation of an attack. There was no OODA loop to progress through. They had already decided their course of action. As shown in the first study, many officers will hesitate to shoot, whether it is a failure or delay to recognize what is happening, or a hesitancy to shoot another human.

The only issue about this is in each test the officer knew what was coming. There was nothing else distracting his focus. In real life there is the unknown factors . Such as who is truly the bad guy, geography, what was the reason the officer is even there? As I was taught more space! More Safe.
