    • one shot stuns
    • two shots kill
    • three shots vaporizes

      I mean to be fair it was not “designed” at all. They needed to get a body out of the way in one episode and didn’t have time to rewrite/reshoot so one of the writers was just like “Well, the body just gets shot again and disintegrates…”
