What??? Please tell me you meant "perpetrator."
And even then, I'd never shoot someone attacking me in the crotch. Kinda like getting kicked in the jewels, you've got 10 seconds to unleash fury on your attacker before the pain sets in. People, don't shoot perps in the cods. No one wants to get hit there, but only because none of us WANT to survive that wound - not becasue the wound is unsurviveable.
