That is a given!
The gun rate of fire is fixed, and no-one interferes with the source
luminesence.

There HAS BEEN an alteration, from (1) to (4).

No way! _ALL_ that is seen, is doppler blued effect, when a light
source
alters its approach velocity to a receiver.

You wish to alter the numbers of photons represented, compared to
bullets,
by discussing "periods of emission"
Keep it simple (and true to what I say)----
10 bullets form either a stationary or moving (ref target) gun are
considered, and their energies
compared at the target.
NOTE WELL: their individual energies add to become a GROUP energy of 10

What is this? How does "one photon" have a frequency???????????
The FACT is, that the group of photons (equivalent to the 10 bullet
machine gun burst, which occurred over a fixed interval), does NOT
alter in number, when the source is accellerated ref the target

Nope!
Just ten lil' bullets, fired by a fixed rate gun.
x lil' photons, emitted from an unalterring source.
Change motion of gun and source----------it is STILL just the ten and
the x which under scrutiny.
The _scrutiny_ doth reveal, that in BOTH cases there is an increase in
energy UNACCOUNTED FOR in target inspection, when applying (3) as the
cause of doppler as to (1)

You say somewhere that I compare a SINGLE photon, as to a group of
bullets;
get this right, and for good!
ONE bullet, or ONE photon (see footnote) does not have a frequency, so
that suggestion
highlights how far you are prepared to go, in order to misrepresent my
position
(I have postulated elsewhere that light frequency is due to BOTH the
number of photons per time inpinging on a reciever due to their linear
motion, and the individual spin rate of each photon, as it travels that
line (and attendent local fields of each photon)
In this discussion, I refer to linear motion only, and the number of
photons passing a point per time unit.
