Talking about the different legal and community standards by which a soldier, LEO, and a citizen will be judged after the fact - not talking about reloads at all. Not taking issue with your technical comments, paying attention to those.

There will be dramatically different legal and community standards applied to review the conduct of a deployed soldier in a combat zone, as compared to a LEO using lethal force in the line of duty, vs. CHL in a self-defense scenario, vs. citizen on the sidewalk in San Francisco or Boston as the outer edge on the other end of the scale.

was just a question of curiosity, no more nor no less.
