So I know this is a shitpost, but a pelvic shot is taught by some militaries as part of an alternative failure drill (two shots to the chest, followed by one to the head if they continue to be a threat). Its a larger target than a headshot requires, and is rarely protected by armor. Plus, if you miss, the shot is more likely to hit the ground instead of continuing flight well beyond whoever you were shooting at.
So shitpost or not, its not the worst place to shoot.
More importantly, there are ‘junctional tourniquets’ now for armpits and groins. They’re obviously not as effective as a tourniquet around the limbs, but they’re around.
recoil also tends to pull high (if you’re not anticipating), so a groin shot if pulled would just end up centre mass instead, where a head shot would be a whiff
If you aim too low, you’ll hit a leg, which can be tourniquetted.
or end up Robocop scene 27ing (don’t watch that unless you’re prepared to see a whole lot of dick get shot off)

And if you hit the pelvis they are combat ineffective and require medical evacuation. You have now incapacitated three people.

Also some police agencies.

An abdominal aortic junctional tourniquet stops bleeding to any lower extremity or groin injury by cutting off the abdominal aorta.
More like JUNKtional, amirite? Up top! 🤚🏼
