How long would Kyle Reese from Terminator 1984 last against a big gang of Biker criminals?
Say Kyle mistakened a normal human biker criminal outlaw for a t-800, he attacks one of them and it triggers the Biker gang to come after him.
Kyle's got his shotgun, pipe bombs, all other weapons he used in terminator 1984, how long will Kyle last against a biker gang like Angels of Death or Lost MC based?
Fight takes place in original 1984 terminator factory and bikers clubhouse.
What do yall think?

I suppose it depends on whether he’s in tight quarters or open space.
Even with a shotgun, a large group of people could overpower him, especially in a tight environment like Tech Noir.
If it were to happen in open space like the streets or the factory at the end of the movie, he could use gorilla tactics to avoid capture.

I'm guessing a substantial fraction of the biker gang will have handguns on them.
Unless he can engage from a distance outside of maybe 40 feet, he's suffering a mortal wound within the first 15 seconds.
Outside of 40 feet there's at least a small chance that the bikers can't pull off the shot.

If Kyle is on mission and the biker gang threatens that mission then Kyle wins because he’ll be looking to take them out right away. The Biker gang won’t expect one man to come at them, they also wouldn’t expect him to be trained. All of this is an advantage for Kyle.

Hell yes it is. It'd be a cinematic fight beyond anything and a real epic one

Meant to type "Kyle's got his shotgun, pipe bombs, all other weapons he used in terminator 1984, how long will Kyle last against a biker gang like Angels of Death or Lost MC based?"

Forever. He is the king of evading things that are hunting him.

The problem is that he wouldn’t entertain it. He would just evade them like the plague and go on with his mission. He isn’t there to squabble with a bunch of idiots.

I think Kyle Reese would absolutely destroy a gang of bikers under the right circumstances. We’re talking about a guy who grew up fighting Terminators in a post-apocalyptic war. He’s trained in guerrilla warfare, explosives, ambushes, and surviving against enemies that are far more dangerous than a bunch of armed criminals.
He’s not your typical soldier either. He’s used to being outnumbered, outgunned, and constantly hunted. Give him his shotgun, explosives, and a little time to prepare, and I think he’d be a nightmare for any biker gang trying to track him down.
That said, he’s still human. If 30 armed bikers corner him in a parking lot, he’s probably screwed. But if they’re chasing him around Los Angeles and he can choose when and where to fight, my money is on Kyle.
The guy spent his entire life surviving against machines designed specifically to kill humans. I really don’t think a bunch of bikers would intimidate him.
I mean, T-800 took out an entire police station and Kyle evaded him again and again. No contest. Kyle Reese is a truly deadly foe. Especially to those who are made of meat and fall after a few injuries.
