Your last statistic ... isn't so useful, I haven't heard of Bloods and Crips laying down suppressive fire with General Purpose Machine Guns ^_^!

Even going to, say, the statistic I read some time ago of police hitting about 1 in 4 times they fired isn't so useful, because this I take this to be a metric of shooting incidents, in which multiple gun shots were probably fired.

To clarify, I doubt gang members in LA are firing hundreds of thousands of rounds... but I also doubt they're only firing at live targets and hitting as high as half of them. There's a reason they have reputations for "pray and spray".
