This really isn't complicated. In a way what we're dealing with is a math problem. It will take X number of rounds hitting a vital area to stop an attacker. That may be one or many, depending on a number of factors. You should also consider the number of misses as while it's possible that every round you fire will hit a vital area, I wouldn't count on it. Shooting at a range while standing still is not the same as shooting while moving while being shot at. The number of rounds hitting a vital area times the number of misses is how many rounds you'll need to stop one attacker. If you multiply the number of attackers you need to multiply the number of rounds you need. Again, it's nothing more complicated than that. There are people who live in areas where a single attacker is the norm, although I wouldn't count on that. There are also people who live in areas where multiple attackers is common. It's not unreasonable for those people to see things differently and make different decisions in regards to what they carry.
