Ok so I just read Givens latest news letter where point shooting verses sighted fire was the lead article . Based in his numbers the following facts are evidenced,
Recently Tom Givens of Rangemaster in Tenn threw up a reprint of an article wrote years ago. It in he makes that claim, but taking his own writings on the numbers [ which are incorrect based on the men who actually recorded the results in Shanghai ], but taking Givens numbers, here's what they actually represent.
The Shanghai police killed 159 suspects and wounded another 149 while suffering nineteen officers killed with sixty-seven wounded during the same time frame. Givens idiotically claims that the fact that 1.6 rounds per casualty more were fired by the police proves the ineffectiveness of point shooting. The police killed nine times as many foes as the bad guys did, yet their methods were less effective?
The bad guys only managed to kill one cop out of every 4.5 they shot, while the cops killed one bad guy out of every 1.9 bad guys they shot, with an added expenditure of only 1.6 rounds per encounter. Out of 394 total encounters described, the cops killed 149 bad guys. The bad guys killed a mere 19 cops. Givens argument of efficacy makes no sense whatsoever.
