seems to me that the methodology you suggest would best be left in novels about pistol dueling in the eighteenth century...time between shots would be a second or more and the group would be...well, it would rather large for twenty feet...probably the size of a standard silouette target...of course that is dependent on the rate of fire...if one tried to force a round per second using that grip, the sky's the limit...
