hey BRO!
You is 'ZACTLY on the mark about SPRAYING LEAD.
If it don;t hit the target, it don't count... Ya still has an enemy who is firing back at you. ONLY way to make that stop is to HIT THE TARGET..
Weapons available to civilians are no match for what is available to the military. That is a NON-CONTEST from the get go.
Anyway, just my two cents worth...
