Yeah, aim for Center Mass. With the adrenaline pumping you are lucky to hit ANYTHING.

The fact that this cop put six bullets on target stunned me as remarkable. Remarkable as in, pretty damned good control.

Yes, the bullet pattern is superb, but it would be really in bad taste to award Officer Wilson a marksmanship medal.

Exactly!

What Wolf doesn't understand is a basic truth about real-world shooting situations: Even if you're a world-class shooter on the range, in a real life-and-death shoot you'll be lucky to hit that moving person at even five to ten yards. You couldn't reliably make a "wounding only" shot at three yards.

But more to the point: If you aren't faced with a deadly threat you have no business using a deadly weapon, especially in an intentionally non-deadly manner. "I'm sorry your honor, I didn't intend to kill him when I fired my pistol at him". It doesn't fly.

Said another way... If you have -time- to think about -where- to shoot somebody in order not to kill them, you shouldn't be shooting at all.
