61. You obviously don't really understand things do you?
Police have a hit rate of about 9%. The homeowner that killed the criminal last month had been sprayed in the eyes with pepper spray. Shooting a moving human, especially if they are fighting or firing at you, is not easy to due with that much stress. Your own physiological reactions, such as the adrenaline dump and elevated respirations, make it all the harder. Trust me, when you are facing a threat severe enough to justify the use of deadly force, what you really want is a phalanx system or a minigun with a few thousand rounds. I have a bullet wound in me and when that happened I'd have called for a tactical nuke strike if I had it available to me.
