You shoot until the threat is no longer there. No disagreement between us. I was simply noting the statistic. I do question why 6 rounds from a revolver now requires/equates to emptying a magazine from a Glock. The answers could be legit. But training hammer drills vs double tap for response is a valid question.

Note that, for both revolvers and semi autos, the number of shots fired typically was “all the rounds on the gun”.

It could very well be that 5 or 6 rounds were enough to stop the threat. And it could be that more cops were shot after they had emptied their revolver and before they could reload.

I think the answer may be adrenaline.

You're in a life or death situation.

I'd also ask for those who have been in actual combat how effective is their shooting.
