More magazine capacity

Drop the first few with a couple shots and you wont need more. Folks dont tend to keep coming when their buds go down instantly.

So if you “did” encounter a terrorist “cell”, I’m guessing there would be four members? So eight arms? Once the arms are gone, you have ALL day to place whatever shots you have left…you know the drill…

Key is able to hit. Sooooo many suck in this dept. broad side of a barn fails them.

This. Do NOt substitute capacity for skill. Sadly I suspect a lot of people do. I’ve seen some clowns at the LGS's range who thought you were unarmed unless you had at least 15 on board get cleaned on a pin shoot by a dude with a Smith revolver

The spray and pray concept was cemented during the Vietnam era with 30 round magazines. I don't recall exactly what the numbers were, but I read somewhere else that over 50K rounds were expended for each casualty in VN.
Those numbers are up significantly from WW I and II

Well, what would be the correct number? This is reported via the Internet...

The U.S. military consumed an estimated 50,000 rounds of small arms ammunition for every enemy soldier killed during the Vietnam War.Factors in Ammunition ExpenditureSuppressive Fire: Most rounds were used in tactical suppressive fire to pin down or deter the enemy rather than for direct hits.Jungle Terrain: Dense foliage limited visibility, increasing the volume of blind or semi-directed automatic fire.Weapon Technology: The adoption of the M16 rifle allowed for high-rate, controllable automatic and semi-automatic firing capabilities.
