Approximately 1 in 4 defensive uses of a firearm end with zero shots fired. When shots are fired, the average number is slightly over 2.

You're absolutely right. I should have clarified my point as being "when shots are fired." Also, you're right about the "slightly over 2" shots, average. I could have worded everything a bit better. Basically, I'm looking at the possibility of 3 or more hits on an attacker, with a (conservative) 50% miss rate.
The mere presence of a gun, most of the time, is enough to stop a confrontation in it's tracks.
