Didn't take it that you were offended, just wanted to set the record straight with regard to "several shots" over just one.
Worked a case once where an agent shot a guy three times during and armed altercation. First shot was in the guys jewels, he litterally said to the agent, "you shot me in the balls, now your dead," and continued advancing toward the agent he shot him 2 more times and the guy finally went down (he survived). The bad guy was pointing a .44 magnum at the agent, and the agent fired 4 times (hit him 3 times) with a .40 cal sig.
You would think that one shot (in the jewels) would put any man down, but, not so!
