Doesn't the FBI say hit ratio of LEO is 14% ?

Anyways, if you are a deer hunter, you know one shot may be one kill, but a shot through the heart and both lungs - the deer still can run almost 100 yards, and that is with a high powered rifle using expanding bullets.

What's the percentage of bad guys getting shot and still live? It may be higher than dying.

A bad guy with a gun may need 30 rounds to stop him if he keeps attacking. He may flee after getting hit, but he might not. Each situation is different, that is why you carry as many rounds as the potential exists.
