Like I said: for the sake of discussion.  I guess I should have said something like shooting a person has as much of chance killing them as intentionally wounding them in the sense that you can't really choose, much as you train or try. Although you may choose to stop a thread by shooting them in the leg, you could just as easily inflict a fatal wound by a leg shot (severed artery), missing and hitting a different vital area, the bullet simply picking a different path through a body or a fragment later traveling to a critical area in the blood stream.  Point being that a firearm is a lethal weapon. No matter how good you might think you are, you can not predict the end result of shooting a person. Stats DO NOT apply to your shot, your shot becomes a statistic after it is determined what became the final result.  To imagine any shot you take against a person will fall inside some sort of percentage is not how data collection works.
