""When you factor in all of the other elements that are involved in shooting at an adversary, that's a high hit rate," said Raymond W. Kelly, the New York police commissioner. "The adrenaline flow, the movement of the target, the movement of the shooter, the officer, the lighting conditions, the weather ... I think it is a high rate when you consider all of the variables""

Hit Rate forty three percent from zero to six feet, for a fully trained officer whose proficiency rating is bang up to date.

Frightening,......for two reasons:

1). Where do the fifty seven percent of missed shots end up?
2). What would be the expected hit rate for completely untrained, but legally armed, citizens?
