Humans very regularly survive gunshots. About twice as many people are injured by gunshots as those who die from them each year in the USA, even when suicides are included. My philosophy is to minimize harm and suffering whenever possible, even at risk to myself.

But yeh Fuck Russia.

Surviving a gunshot does not mean that you were not shot in a place that could have been fatal. You're literally describing Survivorship Bias

You were going to kill them regardless, why tf do you care if the other places you shoot them have a chance of fatality? Minimizing harm is all about reducing chances of undue death or suffering.
