You never, ever shoot to incapacitate. Shoot to kill or don’t shoot at all.

- mindcrime 2y agoShoot to kill or don’t shoot at all. Strictly speaking, the idea is "shoot to stop the threat", and whether the target eventually succumbs or not is incidental. But overall, your point stands - the old idea of "shoot them in the leg" or whatever is NOT the desired strategy.

- lofaszvanitt 2y agoWhat a load of crap. If you kill these people, you will never know their true intentions. You cannot question a dead body.
- db48x 2y agoIf you try to incapacitate someone by shooting them, they will either die anyway or kill someone (perhaps you, or someone you are supposed to be protecting, or another bystander) before you can take the shot. If you had a science fictional gun that would only ever knock someone out no matter where or how often they were hit, then sure, you could go for it.
