I'd guess it depends on the defender's Martial Arts skill.

Just assuming it works the same as DF.

Also it's very important that the original attacker is fighting in melee, as opposed to with a firearm.

We are not liberal gods, unfortunately. We cannot turn bullets. Not even the Agents, who seem to be the ones from The Matrix, cannot dodge bullets.

1. How skilled the target is with using their current weapon in melee. If it's a gun, that's the club skill.
2. How skilled the attacker is with using their current weapon in melee. So if you're very skilled with a sword, you'll be countered less often than if you're a blind man in a wheelchair.

I must say that it IS irritating when my guitar squad ends up counter-attacking when I'm trying to be peaceful. :(

Yes, but I don't think LCS is supposed to be terribly realistic.

I think it's kind of silly that the police will shot at you AT ALL for being a smelly guitar playing hippie.

I like the way you can kidnap most people on a date using a guitar by holding it to their throat.  I'm imagining someone so terrified of bad guitar playing that they're prepared to face an uncertain fate after being kidnapped.
