Good ideas - we would have to have a good data set. We would also have to factor out hits vs. misses.
Getting rid of zero and stating that the analysis is for when shots are actually fired is a good idea also.
The question isn't usually asked that way but I think most assume it's for when you are really in a gun fight.
Since ever estimate is going to be probabilistic - I think that the best answer is a pragmatic and heuristic one. One gun and a reload or two.
The good neighborhood argument is bogus and the average being 3.94932 doesn't do you any good.
The deterrent argument argues that a J frame and 5 does it fine for the no shots fired.
Interesting discussion.
