Let's not forget "fog of battle". Nobody's a perfect shot under duress. Ever wonder why it takes so many shots to put down a bad guy? Because not every shot makes it to target. That's just a fact of life. I need to know that my shots are gonna make it on target, and I know that if my weapon stops working, I'm in a shitstorm of trouble until I get it resolved. I think we could really divide the "types" of weapons in this discussion into "offensive" and "defensive" type weapons. I cannot think of a better offensive weapon than a truly quiet one when I want the element of surprise. If I'm engaged, I'm already behind the eight-ball, and I need to have a weapon that isn't gonna leave my ass hanging out to dry. Ideally, accuracy and reliability must go hand-and-hand, and luckily, I can get both.
