I've heard of this in the past, and seen it practiced on an outdoor range. I don't like it for a couple of resons.
1. You're counting on a reaction from a bad guy that you might not get.
2. (the biggie for me) You are intentionally letting off shots that you don't think will hit him. The potential for collateral damage here is (to me) unaccaptable. It goes against the whole "Be sure of your target" rule, and is effectivly laying down suppressive fire. Short of full scale war, there is not a good reason to use suppressive fire.
