Yes it’s true that somebody can take a ton of bullets without stopping, which is why it is instructed to keep shooting until they stop. There is one officer with 132 rounds of 9mm at all times. Once he pulled over an illegally armed felon, who began shooting at him and the officer successfully shot him like 30 times. It was only until the final 3 struck him in the head that he dropped and the gunfight stopped.
Same reason they cuff “corpses”. Somebody could be playing possum or have that adrenaline fueled second wind.
People are dangerous and bullets don’t kill as fast as you think they do. Unless it’s a head, heart or spine it is not instant. Even shot in the heart you have maybe 5-10 seconds to pop off a few more shots. Many other injuries incapacitate from 5-30 minutes, which is an eternity relative to a gunfight.
