How many rounds do you think are fired in a military engagement that don't hit anything? During WWII, it was estimated that about 100K rounds of small-arms ammunition were expended per casualty.
Your statement is very true. Any one who trains for combat even down to hand to hand fighting is subject to losing said training when the adrenaline kicks in. Training is only the path leading to possibly the worst moments of one's life. You only really know when you reach that point. Articles like revolvers will get you killed is just speculation as much as not carrying with one in the chamber.
Even for hunters the problem can occur at less intensity, Buck fever has accounted for much lost game.
