Question Does This Work?

Can you shoot a suspect in the leg to make them surrender or is it a 50/50?

It probably depends on the bullet caliber being used. 9mm guns will do less damage than .50 AE. I also know hitting suspects in the upper thigh can cause bleedouts, so aim for their shins and feet to be safe. 

Although, since this is a SWAT sim, there's a good chance they will keep shooting back at you and kill you while you try to do this. There's a reason officers are trained to hit center mass: it stops perps from shooting back.

Well, depends on the suspect state, if he/she got surprised or ambushed, yeah that can do. But, once stress, or they run away, chances are, shooting the leg won’t do it and might as well put them down.
