Shadow Boxing is normally used by small forces against a larger force, such as a 4 man LRRP. It can be done in close, or at long range with guns, it is like a continous hit-and-run, and is good for thinning the herd.

If you need to get through the area, rubber armored binoculars to the back of the head will do the trick. You know the spot I'm talking about Stealth.

Get a prepared route, and at least on E&E route if you are running from the cops. Some people may have had extremely easy E&E from the cops, but it is best to be prepared. Also, If you have to go into Evasion, be sure to have a form of Covert communication.
