That's based on what I've learned in my occupation as a defense attorney. Clients that I've had who were shot by home owners during attempted home invasions are typically shot three to five times before they decide to up and leave since it's not as easy a target as they had hoped for. Having said that, I also defended a gentleman in a defensive shooting a couple of years ago. He planted two shots into his attacker's abdomen at which point the attacker stopped. Unfortunately, he was still convicted of Assault since he was ultimately the instigator of the dispute.
That's interesting. The reason I asked is because I read an article where they quoted a couple of the "name" trainers and it was their experience that people tended to empty the magazine unless there was a really clear indication that the person attacking them was no longer a threat.
Now I realize this isn't real life but one example that they mentioned was in force on force training where the "bad guy" was only getting hit with simulated rounds the tendency was to empty the magazine no matter how many rounds were in it.
