Yes, you read that right. This could go either here or S & T.
Suppose you're being attacked by say, 3 or 4 contact-weapon-armed thugs bent on robbing you (and/or other intentions unknown to you), and they get the jump on you to some extent to where you have a few seconds to draw and shoot after determining it's definitely an aggressive attack, but they are determined enough that continue attacking after the first shot and beyond, and frankly you have no chance to hit them all in CNS, even if you can hit them all *somewhere*, so you have no chance to completely stop the attack - they quickly overwhelm you physically and of course, take your gun.
If you have a 5- or 6-shooter, you've had enough time to empty the gun into the multiple assailants. When they overwhelm you, they take an empty gun. They can then only attack you with the contact weapons, which are typically more survivable and you have a greater chance of having someone intervene before you bleed out.
If you have a wondernine or similar, after 6 shots, you have 11 shots left that these very-PO'ed thugs can use to shoot you in the CNS - game over.
Thoughts?
