5+1

Read the other day where an article stated studies have been shown where there is a DGU on average a person fires 5 shots that miss before the 6th shot that hits the intended target. If I recall they cited data from NYC officers that corroborated their data. This seems way out of line to me.

Seems to me this conflicts with the rule of threes which I am not sure how accurate that one is either?

That sounds about right for NYPD. And that would be on a good day for them. Their training is really terrible. The city thinks training is a waste of money.

The problem with averages, some needed less, and some needed more.

Marine snipers:"One shot, one kill."

NYPD: "one mag, one kill"

You guys have obviously never been to Friday Night Steel.

If they are using NYPD data, the stats are only relevant to NY. NYPD duty weapons are required to be 12 lbs. pull for every shot, unlike a regular pistol running between 5-8 lbs. pull. This has been well-documented for years.

FTFY

Saw a meme about that on FB ("How are teachers going to help when NYPD accuracy is only 12%"). Thought to myself "yea, that's why they're the laughing stock of the gun world, not that it's their fault with the 12lb trigger and lack of training."

It's not a job I'd want.
Averages and statistics don't always tell the whole story.

As someone who plays with a lot of data daily, absolutely! heck, change the wording a little and the data looks totally different without touching the graph.
