Shooting someone in the line of duty, or in self defense, is a stressful situation that puts strain on a person's body (adrenaline dump, tunnel vision, etc).

I don't mean to insult you, but it appears now that you're just looking to troll. I apologize if this is not the case. My point was made about three posts ago, so with your leave I will bid you adieu.
