Intention Wound vs. Kill Shots...Data?

At Chickamauga, the CS forces kept records of how many shots were fired per man. I'm not sure if all the divisions did this, but Cheatham's did. If they all did, their might be some data there to determine shots fired vs. hits. Kill or wound shouldn't be an issue really. If just a quarter of the shots fired created a casualty that would be huge. I would venture to say that even 1 shot in thirty would be an excellent ratio in CW combat.
The results would indeed be very informative.
