You answered your own questions, earlier in this thread.

COM hits on who? Those not in the 'swarm' of bodies? Wouldn't that mean shooting clear shots after the attackers scattered? Or are you shooting indiscrimately into a crowd?
Oh...I see...forgive me...taking aim at each individual attacker to ensure a COM hit means that you are DISCRIMINATELY (AKA selectively) targeting them, not indiscrimately firing into a mass of bodies. My apologies for the confusion on my part.
And doesn't emptying 'a magazine or two' count as 'busting crazy mad caps' (in da 'hood, of course), with the attendant 'hail of lead'? I believe it does.
And unless you're saying you'd walk in amoungst a 'swarm' (your words), then you would be shooting from a distance, correct? Or are you saying you've got such clankers that you'd roll in like the
One Man Calvary to the Rescue and deal 'em justice left/right/front/and center?
I don't think that'd be tactically correct, but it's your funeral...

I've heard of a guy getting hit by lightning 9 times and living. So what's
your point?
Am I prescient, able to devine the future course of events, doomed to forever assume the worst? That every schoolyard scrap or bar room brawl is going to result in a corpse?
I can only react to a situation based on experiences I have had in the past, none of which include seeing someone get killed by a single punch. But I have seen plenty of people get the bejesus living snot beat of them and walk away from it (albeit slowly).
I've seen a lot more people get burned, shot, stabbed, and maimed..and SURVIVE!...then I've seen dying from it. So I'm of the belief that humans are made of some pretty sturdy stuff that'll survive anything short of Trains and large quantities of High Explosives.
Now here's a question for you, Winston:
Why did they stop?
Because his head had been squashed like a grape with brains oozing out his shattered skull?
No. So it wasn't the quenching of a bloodlust.
Because a CCW came along, firing his gun into the air or their bodies?
No, so it wasn't John Wayne either.
Since neither one of these happened, we know what DIDN'T stop them.
So what did?
