I appreciate that some people think themselves highly trained marksmen who will hit every target they aim for in a stressful situation. Unfortunately, reality tends to be somewhat different.
As I said, you don't prepare for the statistical likelihood, you prepare for the worst case. Also, while the study showed the situation ended in 5 shots or less, IIRC, it wasn't necessarily that the assailant was dead, or even wounded, they also could've just run off. This was something I read years ago in some firearm publication. I wish I remembered more about it.
