"pretty simple"? No it's not. It's a guaranteed way to get yourself and possibly others killed. This isn't a video game where you point a cursor, shoot and the enemy drops. In real life you aim for center mass because it is the part of the body that is the biggest, and its that part that is moving the least. It's also the part of the body that is least likely to have a round miss it and possibly hit someone behind the target. Movies and video games have produced a very unrealistic expectation of the realities of firing a gun.

Edit: (Thanks Acey, you posted a far more detailed version of what I was attempting to say.)
