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?

When blood pressure goes to 0, the lights go out. If a shot to the heart destroys the heart, and thus blood pressure goes to 0, it’s game over. If the heart is damaged but still able to provide some blood pressure, you may have some time. Think of a small calibre round, or something other than a direct hit.
If you watch hunting videos, a heart shot with a rifle round just flips the switch and turns them off.
