    I've seen a couple failed gun attempts and would never use one for that reason. The face is the crumple zone of the brain. It exists to use non-necessary tissues as a meat shield. You can lose the whole thing and as long as I can get a tube down what's left of your throat or make a new one you'll technically survive and probably be cognitively intact. You might never taste or smell again, you might have no mouth and the constant need to scream, you might lose your eyes and be unable to load another gun, but we're really good at ensuring what's left of you will survive.
