<div>That only works in the movies. Anyone who has any training in the use of deadly force, be they military, police, or civilian, knows that if you have to shoot, you shoot to stop the threat (and no more), and the best way to do that is aim center-of-mass.
Fancy leg-shots taken under pressure and accompanied by massive adrenaline dumps do not work; chances are FAR greater than even that you'll miss your target and endanger someone or something standing innocently behind the threat.</div>
