We all know the average number of rounds fired in a gunfight is 10 and that Law Enforcement has an 80% MISS rate meaning 2 in 10 rounds hit the subject so, as my dad put it, I just doubled my odds in a gunfight if I can shoot to stop the threat at the Head & Spine. 20 rounds = 4 hits instead of 2.
It appears that the supposed consensus regarding rounds fired in a gunfight does not exist. Using google on the phrase: "average rounds in a gunfight" resulted in a variety of returns, with claims of 3 rounds and 3.5 rounds among them.

I cannot help but wonder about the divergence between Mr. Perroni's statement and the others. And if such a fundamental claim is not well founded, the rest of his report might be questioned.
