Probably true because some are likely not reported. Like when the criminal just backs off and runs away once he sees his intended victim is armed.

You misunderstand. The figure is way too high, not too low. Like, ridiculously well-over-an-order-of-magnitude too high. It's a fiction - it can't possibly be right, because it would yield results that are utterly inconsistent (ie. vastly too high) with every other measure of crime.
