In a close-quarters attack scenario with only seconds to react, the choice between shooting center mass or the pelvis depends on the attacker's proximity. While a pelvis shot aims to incapacitate, it carries a higher risk of missing or only grazing the target, potentially failing to stop the threat. Center mass, targeting vital organs like the lungs, heart, or liver, is generally more reliable for immediate incapacitation, as superficial hits are less likely to stop a determined attacker.
