30 or so years ago I duck humted with the weapons officer of one of the bay

shots are fired and no one is hit. Hard to aim when ducking for cover.
This is like that myth that a shotgun sprays shot everywhere and
anything down range gets hit. All it takes is a few minutes on a skeet
range to prove it is real easy to miss with a shotgun. At ranges
inside 20 feet the pattern is smaller than a dinner plate even with a
cylinder bore.. Short barrels do not affect that much, only chokes.
Well, then, cops, soldiers, whatever, should turn in their guns for knives.
