Average criminal these days still carries a short barreled revolver,
reguardless of what the media shows, has no training, and is used to
getting compliance at the sight of a weapon. Compare that to someone who
is knows what they are doing, doesn't fear getting shot (I'm a
reincarnationalist- what are you going to do, kill me?), and uses an
agressive defense (break an ambush with killing fire and advance).
Shotguns are pretty uncommon, and rifles of all types are still less
popular methods of murder than hands and feet. If there is more than one,
(a) they are an oddity, and (b) they are probably going to pause while
thier friend's brainpan splatters all over them. Figure a pause of a
second? That is at least one more down.
