A lot of the stories I see of cops unloading on perps are 40+ rounds fired. People always say “He was dead after 3 or 4...why keep shooting?” Maybe cops should be issued single-shit pistols, since they seem to have plenty of help.
saw a clip of a cop who fired and hit a perp 9 times, and the perp kept coming at the cop with a knife- and walked away- with 9 shots in him- the video ended as the perp was walking away- but likely died a short while later- but it goes to show that no=- it is not true that a person only needs a couple shots- single perps hopped up on drugs can still be a threat even after gettign hit several times- not to mention that when attacked by several people with guns- the defender needs as much ammo as possible to fend them off, and should have every right to have as much ammo in a mag as needed to safely defend themselves against heavily armed thugs-
