Makes "Chicago PD" look like amateurs.
Unless the shooter goes to a second magazine almost none firing a pistol can have even a close estimate of the rounds fired. Collecting casings is a start or examining the firearm. A revolver is easier. Back when NYPD carried revolvers they did a study on average discharges by officers on the street and it was around 3.5 average. It's always helpful to keep a track/count.
