A police study that I read years back, that was based on US statistics, that said most gun battles took place at less than 30 feet, involved both sides emptying their weapons, and only rarely involved gunshot injuries.

And that was a study of trained professionals.

Yeah, there's a LOT of that. The majority, something like 98%, of defensive gun use cases a shot is never even fired.
