I think the "instant incapacitation" is either CNS damage from bullet or bone fragments, or enough of the lungs and major blood vessels being destroyed by the wound channel that there's more or less instant loss of blood pressure. But whether or not it happens appears to be highly placement specific

So you don't think shock to the CNS is enough to disable an animal, only physical damage to it?
