Shooters with that poor of a pistol shooting skill level probably do need a hail of bullets sent down range to luck into a head shot hit. I also want to point out the fact that for the average shooter it would take them WAY longer to perform a magazine change than it would for them to simply aim and press off a single head shot.

The way I see it you can Aim and make a quality hit or sling lead in the general direction of your target and hope to get a hit. One method is going to produce more consistent results than the other so choose wisely.
My guess: you've never tried to fire a gun, accurately, in a high stress, adrenaline filled situation. I challenge you to attempt to recreate a scenario like that- go to the range, do 20 pushups, sprint 20M, draw and fire at a silhouette's head within 10 seconds (a damn eternity) from 5-7M all while someone is screaming at you. Good luck... And I've had both .mil and LEO training.
