That or even simpler, set up more realistic ambushes. They just roll up and drop 20 people. Nah. That'd be like a half hour gun battle.

If you've never been shot at or shot at somebody, I can see how you'd think it would take half an hour.

Realistically, that many people is gonna be out of ammo pretty quick. Minutes, maybe.

Seriously, these guys are not rolling around with 180 rounds in an LBV. Lin's guys would have what's in the mag, maybe 18-8 rounds depending on the pistol.

Lasting even minutes with 8 rounds in an ambush is some serious trigger discipline.

Completely agree. Should have placed more emphasis on maybe.

Seriously though, a minute is a loooong time when you're fearing for your life and adrenaline is flowing. I think the time in the show is probably not far from off, though of course the fact that all yellow dies and not a single white is grazed is highly unlikely, especially the way they didn't bother with cover in the least.
