Counting shots, picking parts of the head to hit? You have to be joking!
No. We are not joking. You do write pretty fiction though.

There have been people killed by attackers wearing body armor who did not respond to the old COM shots. It has happened. There have also been several public rampage shootings where the shooter wore a vest.

Nobody is saying stand there and count one, two, three. The purpose of practice is to develop an automatic response where counting and in depth analyzing is not required. When the decision to shoot is made on a snap basis I know from long practice that two are going straight at the center of the threat and I am automatically raising the gun to the head level for the third and taking the shot; if a head is still there.

Perhaps you have never done any repetitive training so you cannot appreciate what actually can be accomplished with it. It is real though and applies to a host of activities. You can do it, you just need to practice.
