Some stats have been posted on average number of rounds and distance. Anyone with access to those please post them.
We were talking about how many rounds may be needed in a SD situation when you factor in the fact that on average only 30% of shots land on target.
A 6 shot revolver would give you almost 2 hits.
A 10 round mag would give you 3.
A 17 round mag would give you 5.
The question I would like to focus on is not so much which gun should I carry, but how many rounds are really likely needed given the 30% average of hits and a average number of assailants.
Also any info on how many shots per assailant are likely needed. In the academy we were taught two shots center mass and more if needed. Keep in mind this question is only here so that we can shed light on the main question of how many rounds are likely to be needed.
Any documentation to show averages would be helpful.
