My thanks to everyone who has contributed to this this thread. There have been some good points brought up. I would like to share the information that I have gathered and the conclusions that I have made up to this point.
I have been looking for just some basic info such as the average shots fired during an encounter, distance, hits or misses, time of day, etc. . Most of the information that I have been able to come up with has involved law enforcement. Other than the fact that LEO's are more likely to be involved, and in some cases don't have the obligation to retreat, I think that the information is very relevant to the general public. I think the information is about the same no matter who is pulling the trigger.
For example, I have determined that the majority ( there are exceptions ) of gunfights are over in 5 shots or less. More shootings occur at night. The majority of gunfights are at a distance of 10 feet or less. The average hits per shots fired is 50 percent. ( and that is at the 10 feet or less distance )
To summarize. The majority of gunfights are at 10 feet or less, with 5 shots or less being fired, and half of those 5 shots hitting their target. Now, there are a lot of other variables, but this is good information to know. These are statistics that are not new to some people, but are to others. I was looking for actual documents that prove these are true. I found what I was looking for with the help of the people on this thread. Thank you.
If anyone has anymore insight into this, I would appreciate hearing it. Thank you.
