Without getting too gross, a bullet could completely bisect a man’s frontal lobes without stopping him immediately. He may not get all the jokes we tell afterward but he probably won’t die immediately and may even be able to continue fighting.

There's actually a movie that touches briefly on this called "Regarding Henry" starring Harrison Ford. HF plays a lawyer who enters a C-store in the middle of an armed robbery and ends up getting shot in the head with a .22. It does some damage but doesn't kill him (the rest of the story revolves around that little tidbit). Anyhoo, the point is that even a head shot has to pack enough wallop to seriously degrade brain function before it's a stopper. Always make sure your shots have actually stopped the threat before you take your sights or eyes off the target.
