From what I have seen, if you encounter a group, usually after the first one goes down (maybe 2, the other "peaceful protesters" scatter. A home burglary is similar. If they are coming for you a-la John Wick, then you need 525 rounds as opposed to 25. A full 10-15 mag with JPM should be all I would ever need. For CCP I want lighter. 10 rounds is heavy enough. Am I missing something?

To expand on the "guns are like fire extinguishers" analogy:
Assuming that "most" car/engine fires can be put out without using the entire contents of a fire-extinguisher, you probably wouldn't carry one in your car that is half-full (if you are going to bother carrying one at all).
Also, if you ever find yourself in a situation where you need to use a 9mm "extinguisher", rest assured that your fine motor skills will go to crap from the resultant adrenaline dump.
Case(s) in point: There have been numerous OIS incidents where a lot more than 20 rounds were exchanged without a single hit on either side.
