The problem, of course, is that a shot anywhere can be lethal. So if one is going to shoot, they better assume they're going to kill if it hits the target.

Which is why police officers suck hard at actually shooting someone. Their job is not to kill someone, and even in the most dangerous circumstances they'd rather avoid shooting than killing the criminal. Their guns are severely under-used as a result (and if they aren't, there's a problem).
