Shot placement is critical. Learn, and practice, not to spray and pray.Dont be too concerned with the fact that you only have 7 rounds or 15. IMHO, if you think high cap is the way to go against the bad guy, (1-2) you, plan on missing alot. Be certain and be accurate and be fast.
It's not the caliber that they were shooting that is the problem. It's the bullet they were using. There are numerous loads out there that are far far FAR superior than gold dot and TAP ammunition.
They got freaking lucky. 107 rounds in 3.5 minutes is simply spray and pray. They need to get back to training.
I agree with your first statement about far superior ammo but having been in this situation before in a far off land.........don't condemn spray & pray until you have tried it! As pointed out earlier........this target was shooting back......from cover.

Shot placement was good in this shootout. He was hit in the throat, chest, and abdomen several times by .223 and .40 caliber rounds. The rounds themselves, especially the pistol rounds did not work as advertised.
I think 1" penetration constitutes failure.
How did they come to the conclusion that the 40's didn't fail (20th of 21 slide)?
I think 1" penetration constitutes failure.
I would think that if he was behind a barrier the 40 rounds would not preform properly.
