I had forgotten about the Miami shootout; several of the FBI agents had revolvers and found it difficult to reload under fire. The FBI and many LEO agencies went with a mag fed sidearm after that incident.

And then there's the N. Hollywood shootout where LEO's were up against automatic rifle fire and only had shotguns. They ran into guns stores and grabbed some AR-15's to even things up a bit and after that incident, most police agencies started keeping an AR or similar semi-auto rifle in their squad cars.

Live and learn.

In the Miami shootout, most of the shooters were within 8 feet of each other, IIRC.

Evidently the feds were lousy shots.
