I'm not sure there's a perfect answer. I've been taught, and teach, to shoot until the threat stops; and that's probably the best compromise. If the assailant is still a threat, I don't see how it could make sense to stop. And if there's another threat, that's why we carry extra ammunition, practice speed reloads and practice moving.

And I agree that we must be observing as we are firing. Overdoing it may create legal problems. But I think the first order of business is to stop the threat.

BTW, in practice, I shoot strings of varying lengths to avoid pre-programing any set number of shots.
