Very true!You'd have loved my old address as well: NAPOLEON! Always brought a chuckle from cannon buffs, since American Civil War-era 12 pounder smoothbores were nicknamed "Napoleons". But they were named after Napoleon III.
Some of the streets in my neighborhood are named after Napoleon I's battles: Jena, Marengo...

Acquire sight picture, Fire! Repeat for 6 rounds, reload 6 rounds, fire 6 more as before, TIME!
STAGE 2: 12 rounds.

YES, you will be able to reload, with extra pre-loaded magazines, throughout the competition. This serves to better simulate real-life police work.
