If you’re shooting, shoot to kill. There’s not a non-lethal place to shoot a human being.
But yeah, jumping straight to the gun might be a bit much for some guy rummaging through your living room drawer. Russia is more like a hardened criminal who’s been threatening you every night for the past month busting down your door and beating your kid to death.
Humans very regularly survive gunshots. About twice as many people are injured by gunshots as those who die from them each year in the USA, even when suicides are included. My philosophy is to minimize harm and suffering whenever possible, even at risk to myself.
You were going to kill them regardless, why tf do you care if the other places you shoot them have a chance of fatality? Minimizing harm is all about reducing chances of undue death or suffering.

But yeh Fuck Russia.
Surviving a gunshot does not mean that you were not shot in a place that could have been fatal. You’re literally describing Survivorship Bias
