Brave shop assistant confronts A-47 wielding beer thief
And even when the man points the gun at her face, she stares at him defiantly and says: "Go ahead, try me", like a line from an action film.
The incident happened in central Russian town of Mariinsk, in the Kemerovo Oblast region, and was captured on a CCTV camera located inside the shop.
It shows the man with a shaved head carrying the rifle behind his back as he walks into the store, and at first the woman does not appear to see the gun.
He says: "Give me three litres of beer" and she replies "It will cost 199 RUB (2.5 GBP). Do you have the money?"

The saleswoman starts to pour the beer in the bottle and at this point the man suddenly puts the rifle on the counter.
But apparently nonplussed, she tells him: "Put that thing away."
The pair wrestle over the gun with the would-be robber brutally hitting the shop worker
After the struggle the man hits the shopkeeper with the gun and then leaves with only a beer
He then replies: "I will not, put your hands up. If you push the alarm button I will shoot you."
But she still refuses to give in, demanding that he pay for the beer, and then when he demands the contents of the till, she offers him the beer for free if he leaves.
