How many shots do you need, keeping in mind that either you'll get the drop on them and hit them before they begin moving (in which case, you'll only need a couple of rounds) or things will become very dynamic, and 10 rounds might easily not be enough.
Jeez, doesn't anybody go play paintball? Ever try hitting somebody that's frantically moving to dodge behind a wall or a piece of furniture or into another room?
I've played laser tag a few times, and even with a speed-of-light gun missing a moving target is not that difficult.
