I believe they are 100% ethical to alleviate undue pain and suffering so long as you were in a position to fire your gun in self defense.

I'm not sure that line of thought is legal. That comment leads me to believe you are shooting to kill.
If you have trained well AND you keep calm, the target is very likely to die if truly applying deadly force. The ~15% hit in shootout statistics are interesting, but looking further into them more so. In most of the limited data I have seen it is about 15% of shooters hit about 100% of the time and the other 85% of shooters almost never hit.
Much of that is obviously shooting off target consciously or unconsciously.
