Maybe we just have to agree to disagree. I see no long-term advantage of a ‘spray and pray’ method of shooting.

It goes to the original question, “What happens when the ammo runs out?”

I do not see myself as Bat Masterson or Wyatt Earp out to quick draw myself to safety. I think that enables me to focus more on situational awareness and tactical positioning.

The bad guy can take me out in the first 20 seconds, but if I survive that, I think I will be just fine. Meanwhile, I do not present a threat for those 20 seconds (deep concealment) so I think that initial survival will be quite possible.

People have to know their limitations and be prepared to respond accordingly.

That was answered in the movie ZULU DAWN. “The bullets run out! The bloody spears don’t!”

If you are caught out in the open don’t try to place your shots. Just a little advice. Practice shooting with both eyes open and on the target. Get as much lead down range as fast as possible then find cover.
