Military organizations use warning shots, 'shots across the bow of the vessel' and the like...
They don't really have a place in SD/HD in my opinion. If you are justified to use lethal force, use it and be effective with it.
If you're not justified in using lethal force, why is a gun even in the equation?
Warning shots are a waste of ammunition in a lethal scenario at best, and a liability and dangerous practice with serious moral and legal repercussions at worst.
