Yes - there are no guarantees with small arms.
I think we're talking about 2 different things here.
To me, deadly force is only legitimate if it is used because you must stop the other guy from doing what he is doing
right now.
In which case, shooting him in the leg is folly. It's just not going to stop an ongoing violent attack.
Multiple rounds to the torso / head are far more likely to get that unpleasant job done.
