Summary: a study a major PD (might even be NYPD) did with officers to test actions under intense situations involving gunfire. Participants were put into a virtual reality situation in which they came under attack. They fired their weapons, a VR gun in this case, and asked later how many shots they'd fired. EVERY SINGLE ONE, guessed 6-12 shots maximum. And EVERY SINGLE ONE had actually EMPTIED the 'clip'.

Had an ex-sheriff who now is a teacher...
got him talking one afternoon about his old job -
car chase after a serious scumbag...guy left the car and fired at the cop: cop returned fire with the shotgun - game over.

Asked by his sarge how many times he fired, he said twice. Sarge then asked him to explain the SIX empty shotgun hulls on the ground.

see the link for some info...

Not sure which study you saw, but that sounds about right. Stress alters perceptions; it's been shown in soldiers, police officers, and civilians in life-and-death situations nearly every time its been studied.
