I agree but, and this is the rub, in a civil court a jury could easily find it was too many and excessive. You will always see in a police shooting where they attempt to charge an officer they will bring up the amount of shots. The idea is it plays to the jury's emotions and their ignorance to the fact that they don't have to stop firing.
