How long can you function once your heart stops?

Often in movies and such when a person is struck in the heart they drop like a sack of potatoes. In real life if someone were to shoot you in the heart how long would you be able to function normally?

Being shot in the heart isn’t instant death like it is sometimes in television and movies but it’s very quick. You’d have an immediate reaction with unconsciousness, brain damage and death following very quickly after. Unfortunately, I used to occasionally visit an now-defunct sub called r/watchpeopledie and you could see real examples of this kind of stuff.
