From 25ft, the amount of ammunition won't matter; it takes a finite amount of time to engage six moving targets. If I'm dealing with an assault force comprised of the sort of professionals that aren't deterred by two or three of their buddies catching .357s at close range, I'll need a lot more than any handgun. If we're going to be preparing for that kind of scenario, then we also need to make sure we've got close air and artillery support on speed dial.
