Intention is the most important factor in lethality. Consider the Orlando massacre. The intention to kill could not have been clearer. The shooter achieved near 50% lethality.

When I go to the range, my intention is to place every round in the Bulls-eye; thus where the lead actually goes really doesn’t matter - right?

As we keep saying:
SHOT PLACEMENT MATTERS

These numbers are bogus. With exploding rounds from a gun that feels like a bazooka and sounds like a cannon, the lethality has to be near 100%. /s

Homicide/Assault is most likely a single shooter firing a few shots. Legal intervention can be four LEO emptying five 17 round mags. So yes, legal intervention is more lethal, for sure.

How convenient of them to label “legal intervention” as only encompassing law enforcement. The numerous gun owners who have helped avert a crisis are conveniently ignored in this “study”.
