Ever hunted with a muzzleloader? Didn't take any iffy shots that you would try with a repeating gun did you? It's the same concept. Rounds on target is the most important aspect of going home alive.

If you dump a full mag of 15 rounds in a 9mm but don't take the time to actually aim them then a guy like me, with a 6 shot revolver in any caliber you care to mention, will probably win the gunfight. Rounds that hit flesh count, rounds that hit sheetrock don't. This is why my unit had us load minimal rounds in our rigs and still require a successful engagement of multiple targets, you learn to make the shots count and that is what matters. Spray and pray leads to bleed and die.

But hey, what do I know? I only survived a couple of fire fights and you admit you've never been in one. You obviously know more about it than I do.
