Here is the tweak:

Though it'd be easy to make fun of this, this kind of scenario is well thought out and I enjoy the insight so far.
From a military standpoint I'd remove myself from the middle of the street if possible to seek out cover, create distance, and continue to try and de-escalate the situation to avoid lethal means. A person is of value if I can take them alive. Going through pockets only allows me to glean partial personality traits, not intent or affiliation.
If it would come to blows I'd use her momentum against her and monkey stomp her. I'm not a fan of allowing a person to get ahold of my gear, nor do I like them getting some of my gear and using it against me. Bad things can happen to you if you have gear on. It allows a person alot of options for handles. If you're trained well enough in hand to hand you can use that against an opponent. Joint locks and bone breaks could be done with ease if a person is set on gripping your gear and not letting go. Someone that has a solid background in judo, jujitsu, or other ground combative could explain how to use a persons clothing/ gear against them.
Pepper spray has it's purpose but I've only used it on animals (damn Iraqi dogs like getting close). Butt stroking would do little to slow her down if she was at a dead run, she has momentum and that is what you want to avoid coming into contact with. If she was closing distance slower but aggressively, I'd jab the muzzle into the throat or stomp on a knee. Butt strokes with the M-4 are nice because it has narrow edges on the collapsable stock. It does lack the mass necessary to do a good follow through. I watched MP's in Mosul holding the barrels and swinging like The Babe with little effect. It stuns a person for a second, but unless you hit something vital you'll only serve to sufficiently piss them off. In that case there were multiple protesters and you hit one....you better be prepared to hit them all quick and practice Run-Fu.
Last thing I want is to struggle with a person that is close to twice my weight. She may not be alone and it'd be a shame to be disarmed by another aggressor after she falls on you and keeps you pinned (even for a few seconds).
If she is not alone I'm all for the 62gr option through the melon and transition to the next target.
Good thread Joe!!!
