Combat vs Competiton, Sighted vs Instinct

As for shooting Human Targets and not seeing your hits. In a "stressful" situation, you're not going to know if you're hitting the target even if you do use sights. Things are going to be ugly.

My point is that if you do aim you have a better idea of where the rounds should have hit.

In the eye socket.

From the hip.

Damned fine shooting.

"there are almost just as many cases"
Bad choice of wording on my part. I apologize. I'm not saying bad guys don't go down with one shot. I'm saying that for you to assume they are going to is foolish. People have received multiple gunshot wounds and continue to fight. We see videos all the time of bad guys getting shot in armed robberies in stores and they run out of the store to either die on the street, or, go to the hospital to be treated. It happens. Pistols are not good man stoppers. We all know that. We all have seen and heard about it in the past. Hell, if it only happened one time, that one time is something we need to be aware of. Be it from adrenaline, or drugs, or whatever. People are shot and continue to function.

The one case that sticks in my mind is the Gerald Ung case. Where he was attacked by a drunken Lacrosse player (DiDonato) in Philly a few years back. IIRC, Ung emptied his revolver at point blank range into DiDonato and DiDonato continued throwing punches.
