There's two equal and opposite misrepresentations of reality. If you're not either the main bad/good guy then a single gun shot or punch will take you out completely. Often people fly backwards from a gun shot, which is just crazy. Conversely, if you are the main hero/villain, you can probably get shot 10 times and be beaten with a lead pipe across the head quite a few times and still be going along just fine.
