Even in WWII it is estimated that as much as 50% of our troops did not fire their weapons during combat.
This SLA Marshall study has been discredited. Most soldiers fire their weapons - they just don't aim. We saw a lot of this in Vietnam - ARVN troops would raise their weapons over a wall of sandbags, or swing their rifles around the corner of a building and just pull the trigger until the magazine was emptied.
