The problem with the whole bullet cliche is sadly that it is a reality. You really cannot fault Hollywood for using it in movies, because it has happened often enough in real life. Yes people often do walk through a hail of bullets totally unscathed, and yes there are people deliberate enough that a single shot is all it takes. There is a term for this, and it is called spray and pray. Which most people will tend to do. Even seasoned professionals will devolve to a point where they couldn't hit the broad side of a barn.
A famous example would be Wyatt Earp not getting so much as a scratch in that Tombstone gun battle, and he was not even ten feet away from the guys shooting at him, and as for poor marksmanship. Bomber crews back in World War 2 even with extensive training would rarely use the sights on their guns, or even lead their targets. Even when the governments would pour huge amounts of effort into training them not to do that.
The point I am making is that in this case Hollywood is actually reflecting the reality of gun battles. It is far more common for people to not get hit at all, and it is actually quite common for one deliberate person to beat many people with more firepower. It really does happen more often then you would think.
