Hello,
Here is an interesting article that follows along Mr. Reaper's earlier comments.

Conclusions
Dr. Anderson concludes his forensic analysis of the gunfight by pointing out the remarkable accuracy of the FBI agents in achieving solids hit on both Platt and Matix, despite the fact that the suspects were obscured by deep shade, dust and gunsmoke. He provides specific examples of accurate shooting by five of the eight Agents involved: Grogan, McNeill, Dove, Risner and possibly Orrantia.
He also points out the ability of several of the people involved in the shoot-out, both suspects and FBI Agents, to continue to perform both physically and mentally through sheer willpower after having sustained severe gunshot wound trauma, and provides specific examples of determination on both sides.

With my rookies (and I am by no means an expert) I push the fact that heart attacks can cause the same stoppage of oxygenated blood to the brain and that individuals can, sometimes, be brought back without loss of brain function. Throw in factors like adrenaline, the presence of stimulants (especially meth) and you can confront a human that will not immediately cease to function with a round through the heart. Furthermore, CNS hits are preferable or necessary for followup to immediately stop the threat. I also like to do a shooting drill BEFORE this discussion to show how many rounds/magazines can be fired in 15 seconds to send home the fact that an individual bleeding out from a terminal wound can still kill them and that they can do the same to the bad guy that shot them.
