Forum Post: What Does 10 Shots Even Mean!

I was trying to imagine the significance behind 10 shots and came up with some scenarios:

• Monster's Last Twitch Scenario

This is like in an action movie when the monster you thought was finally dead makes a sudden reawakening and attacks again. In a final heroic manner you mix courage, desperation, annoyance, and anger into your last stand. While thinking - "Die bastard!" - you fire 10 quick shots - Bam! Bam! Bam! Bam! Bam! Bam! Bam! Bam! Bam! Bam!

• Out of Misery Scenario

In this scenario, the cops shoot once or twice then realize the victim is wounded irreparably and suffering greatly. In a humanitarian fashion, they decide to end the suffering by shooting eight more times - Bam! Bam! Bam! Bam! Bam! Bam! Bam! Bam!

• Torture For Fun Scenario

The opposite of the previous scenario, this is when the cops shoot slowly one shot after the other making sure the victim suffers greatly. This is a psychotic scenario. People who do this are those who tortured animals just for fun when they were 8.

• Matrix DodgeBall Scenario

In this version of events, many more than 10 shots are fired. The victim is some kind of fast moving hard to hit Matrix agent type thing. Many policemen fire hundreds of shots in the desperate hopes of connecting. They connect with 10.

• I'm a Klutz, But Wait... No! Scenario

In this scenario, the policeman thinks he is missing each shot only to realize later that he was connecting each time. This could happen with a cop lacking experience. A cop unable to tell when he makes a hit, or who had no self confidence in his shooting abilities.
