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?

Saw an old dash-cam video of that exact thing happening in a criminal justice class a decade ago. Police officer pulls over a guy with a gun, they wrestle over it and the guy shoots him in the heart. He stood up, emptied his revolver into the shooter, walks a few feet, passes out and dies.

It was maybe 40 seconds at most.
