I was in an industrial accident that broke my pelvis in 3 places (open-book fracture). There were also other internal injuries and broken bones. I didn't lose conciousness, was able to direct my rescue and was able to lower myself from a height without assistance just using my upper body. Based on my experience, a damaged pelvis would limit my mobility somewhat yet leave me capable of operating a firearm and inflicting damage on my opponent.
A pelvic shot would not be my first choice if I were attacked and needed to defend myself with a firearm. In my opinion, a pelvic shot is a "shoot to wound" option not much different than trying to shoot an assailant in the leg or shoulder. I'm going to shoot to stop.
