Sheepdog Tip of the Day, During Combat tip 64
It was shown after that shooting that the average officer could empty a high-capacity, 15-round 9mm magazine in four seconds. So does such a magazine give you the ability to blaze more ammo down range? Upon occasion, sure, and you can empty that magazine in four seconds. The problem is that unless you are firing at point-blank range the average shooter cannot hit a barn door at that rate of fire, and even if you hit the bad guy with all 15 rounds in four seconds, it is highly unlikely that he can die that fast. Imagine him saying, "I'm going to fall, but you got to give me a second here."
