Kill or Wound so they no longer have the ability to fight.
That’s the bottom line when you’re in a firefight.
Hand in hand with this is to destroy or disable their weapons and equipment so it can no longer be used against you.
You keep shooting until the above is achieved.

Okay. Well aimed effective fire is what’s preferred but in a near contact situation you first want overwhelming fires.
Lay down a heavy base of fire, throw grenades, when rush through the contact double tapping everything that breathes regardless if there breathing or not
Far contact is when you employ precision fires. Indirect fires if available.

We carried double the UBL ( Unit Basic Load ). Plus we had “Speedball” Assault packs with loaded magazines, loaded soft pouches for the belt fed weapons and pyroHi,
It may also depend on how much ammo you have on your person.
Thank you for your indulgence,

In all seriousness, like I mentioned on here before, when I train, it’s shot placement for me, I don’t dwell on how many rounds you carry, to me shot placement overseas round count, but this is just me

I do as well. “On the enemy during combat” is what got me thinking about previous fire fights I’ve been in. If it’s a single bad guy I’ll follow the upper center mass point of aim
