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?

If for any reason your heart stop pumping blood, lets say an arrhythmia, your brain will stop working in an average of 6 seconds.
Thats called a syncope.
The 6 seconds are important because heart pauses for more than 3 seconds are an indication to install a pacemaker in order to prevent syncopes.
