He'd Be a Hero in Texas

Start running back and forth 20 meters away from me.

My brother was a better shot, and I know/knew several guys who are as well. 20 meter head shots are no big deal, if you have appropriately structured training, adequate range time, and car wash attendants such as you footing the bill for the ammo.

Saying it twice doesn't make it true.

I can get a 20 meter headshot with a .22 rifle no problem. And I doubt I have half as much firearms experience as MtG.

If you shoot someone in the shoulder they'll probably never be able to use the arm properly again if you hit the joint.

I think permanently disabling someone is a less severe consequence than killing someone.

It's not like the westerns.

First, you want to use a hollow point or similar fragmentation round (like Glasers) so that any miss or through and through doesn't hit someone downrange. Second, depending on how someone moves, you have the subclavian artery, humeral artery and jugular, plus the upper lobe of the lung, all in proximity to the shoulder. Third, if the round hits bone and tumbles on impact, it can make a nasty traverse wound channel and hit the spine, heart, any vital organ or organs.

There is no way to shoot someone with effect without a significant risk of fatal injury.
