"Anything more than five rounds and you are a problem"

[Krichardson]

I wonder how many assailants has this guy dispatched with just five rounds of ammunition?

[Bang]

Betcha he would limit a fist-fight to one fist.

I would add, given that the typical hit rate under duress is around 20% to 30% that means five rounds equal 1 to 1.5 hits. If that hit is a non-critical hit, you've emptied your gun and now you'll die because criminals know that more bullets are better than less bullets.

And that's a hit rate of 20% for a small slice of society that in theory has more training. I wonder what the hit ratio is for the wannabe that provided the opinion 5 shots is more than enough. Didnotcomply's acquaintance has probably never had a gun pointed at himself, not to mention been on the receiving end of incoming rounds. With that attitude no hunter should ever enter the woods with any more than one round and the critters don't shoot back.

It's all too easy when your experience is limited to putting holes in perfectly outlined silhouette targets, from a known distance, with a comfortable stance, on a sunny day in September.

I have folks at work that drive monster diesel dually bro dozers without as much as a scratch in the bed, all's their hauling is their lunch box, would the OP's friend tell him he only needs a smart car ?

I just did the winter /summer switch from the S&W J Frame to the HK USP, there is a time and place for everything

24/7/365 I pocket carry a S&W J frame air weight with a laser. Entire thing is about a pound. For "formal occasions" I carry a Springfield XDM .45 with 2 extra mags (40 rounds total) in a shoulder holster....yes, I'm THAT old....and the J becomes my BUG. "For everything there is a season"

my guess? that would be "zero".

Obviously 5....maybe 6 if they were lined up just right. A true one shot one kill operator does not pull the trigger unless termination of the threat is guaranteed. LOL.

See Indy got a 1 shot 3 kill right there and he's just a college professor.... guy doesn't even train daily with shooting and reloading drills. Sheesh!
