I've heard any number of shots from different people but I am looking for a legitimate source that reports the number of shots on average that are fired in a gunfight.
Any ideas?
Thanks

it should probably be noted that you're comparing them to competitive shooters. your average cop is certainly a much better shot than your average civilian.But most cops really can't shoot worth a damn
Why? LEO's have much looser rules regarding having their weapons in hand that civilians do.I think a lot of the reason why police seem to have lower 'hit %' (or at least perception seems to be going around) is that the LEO engagements I would bet, happen at greater distance. I would also bet that they (the LEOs) are fired on first, whereas civilian confrontations are either simultaneous fire or where we have the advantage in dropping the hammer.
While I believe Ken is a credible instructor, I would have to fundamentally disagree with those figures.*In shootings, 1-4 rounds are fired. In gunfights, both parties shoot to empty, regardless of capacity.
Considering who Ken is, and how long he's been at it....I'm inclined to believe him.
Me too. I appreciate the thought. The scar (though small) on my left arm from his grazing round is a constant reminder of why I never want anyone throwing lead at me again if I can, in any way, avoid it.I remember you in that situation Mitrod3. Sorry to hear you had to learn the hard way. Dave
Then you don't have a gunfight, do you?You might get the drop on a bad guy and no shots may be fired at all.... depends on the day and how blessed ya are is all.
