... well I honestly don't know what to say other than 'holy shit, how do you know all this, off the top of your head?'

Uh.

Yeah.

Other than that:

No clue who Dave Grossman is, I am not an... adherent of Grossman thought, but uh yeah, what you've said makes sense, suppressive fire is... much more about the number of rounds, than their 'lethality'.

Also: Hope whatever you are altered on has a smooth edge to it, I would perhaps recommend chamomile tea?

Traveling and absorbing from people who knew a lot more.

The Dave Grossman aside wasn't a shot at you, it was more for those who know. He wrote a book where his conclusion was that soldiers in war intentionally miss. His methods for gathering data were sketchy to say the least. His name or book seemingly inevitably appears on comments any time the number of rounds fired vs kills in war comes up. It's a very reductionist idea that appeals to the sensibilities of what I might imperfectly call "mainstream Reddit culture".

Thanks but that isn't the direction I'm heading.

Well, have a good trip!
