I am farm from an expert marksman (I can shoot good enough for what I need, but I definitely won't be winning any competitions), so I'm wondering from those that do shoot a lot - how fast can you shoot?
I ask this from the perspective of an author who is writing an action series, and I want to be able to realistically represent the superb skills of my character. If my numbers are too slow, then he looks inept, and despite my character being an unrealistically awesome person, I don't want the numbers to look too fast.
So, how fast can you get accurate follow-up shots (and number of follow-up shots) on target?
EDIT: Forgot to mention, please include the caliber. Obviously .45 shooters will have a different answer than 9mm shooters.
