Even with losing a gun and an agent's glasses, bad luck before they even got started the perp was mostly behind a cars door. They did hit him a few times, but the wounds were inconsequential. More penetration could have helped in any case. Getting everybody to that level of proficient with pistols at the distances involved would be time consuming but would help in many situations but not so much here. However, a couple of ARs would allow them to target more reliably and from father away and penetrated the car doors with. Even a 9mm carbine would have put more bullets more on target. Another bit of bad luck was police with the proper equipment arriving too late. Every officer should have a rifle or carbine hand.
