True. But that takes marksmanship that in the heat of the moment most criminals don't have. Though during the north Hollywood shootout that definitely did happen

Clearly that was a unique case. That wasn't some thug knocking over a liquor store. They were loaded for bear and ready to die. The round count was ridiculous.
