Wish I had seen this during the MDGunGrab fight.
Link to PDF NYPD report:
http://www.nyc.gov/html/nypd/downlo...ypd_annual_firearms_discharge_report_2011.pdf
A 102 page report on data concerning 2011, when there were 34 intentional shootings against adversaries. I found PDF pages 41-42 most relevant.
Cribbing an expert's analysis (with his OK) :
I would prefer not to bet my family's lives on the idea of "best 2 out of 3" (I.e., a 1 in 3 chance you will "need" more than ten rounds to stop a threat). Thanks MD. Um, Excuse me, but CDNN is having a standard capacity magazine sale right now. . . See you later...

Cribbing an expert's analysis (with his OK) :
"The most recently released NYPD SOP-9 "Annual Firearms Discharge Report" data from 2011 document that 7 rounds or less were fired in 65% of NYPD OIS incidents, while in 35% of cases officers needed to fire more than 7 shots to stop the threat. Interestingly in 29% of the incidents, more than 10 shots were required to end the violent encounter."
