The North Hollywood shootout is actually a good example of what happens in a real gunfight under stress. People do not typically hit what they're aiming at in those situations.

A sporting goods store supplied AR-15s (semi-auto) to the first responders and the SWAT teams used their full-auto M16s when they arrived. FYI the robbers used a semi-auto AK-47, an AR-15 and a HK91 all modified to full-auto. An original full-auto version of the AK or HK goes for $25k+ and are highly prized by class 3 collectors. AR-15s are brainless, common conversions to full-auto while the AK and HK conversions require a competent gunsmith.
