Maybe, maybe not. I'm pretty sure that if you fired off a round that hit the perp between the eyes, she’d drop to the floor and you would not have to listen to any screaming.

You’re only going to target the head if target is wearing body armor or is behind cover. If you have to make a shot count, center mass is the best target. Your ammo choice will also influence stopping power, as will your subsequent shots that should continue until you stop the threat. Ideally, you will never hear your target scream unless you frick up. The result of good stopping power is it takes their breath away.
