The debate between the two can only be carried on by lack of personal experience or lack of information.If accuracy would defeat firepower the English with their hundreds of rifles against the Zulu with their thousands of spears would never been overrun by the Zulu.Custer,who was armed with single shot rifles and slow loading but accurate Colt revolvers instead of Winchester repeaters and fast loading S&W revolvers would have defeated the Indians.The Germans would have massicured the Englesh with their 10shot fast action enfields and the Americans with their M1,s,and the american forces in Nam never would have stood a chance.If you believe you can go against 2to5 assailants armed with high capacity handguns or rapid fire rifles with a single action revolver,a hunting-target rifle,or even a slow followup pump shotgun,I wish you luck.Some battles may be won by accuracy and I believe you should practice marksmanship,but in the real world the highest majority of battles will be won by the side that can and does get the most bullets in the air the fastest.The real stratigy is to make the other side quit attacking you.Making him keep his head down is highly important.That is why my choice for hd is high cap pistols and rifles instead of 1911,s,pump shotguns,and target anythings.Also I will go for lighter recoil over knockdown so I can control the rapid fire.A rapid fire,high cap weapon firing 10m over someones head,no matter how powerful it is will not be as effective as a rapidfire smallbore weapon firing at body level.And taking one enemy out cleanly will not work as well as keeping all of them ducking instead of firing at you.
