The reason a cop pulls the trigger is also irrelevant. The second that gunpowder ignites, all bets are off. The bullet is just going to zip along/ricochet/go off 500 yards down the street into some old lady's kitchen window without a care for who's in it's way.
A bullet is a tool, yes. Like any tool, it can be used for harm, yes. But its rare to find a tool made *specifically for the purpose of harming someone* made so ubiquitous in societal norms. Like, if there were poisonous barbs sticking out of everywhere, and even then slightest nick of your skin means death, wouldn't you find yourself just a wee bit nervous going about your day?
