The Mexican
2001 · Film · 123 min
Directed by Gore Verbinski
Jerry Welbach, a reluctant bagman, has been given two ultimatums: The first is from his mob boss to travel to Mexico and retrieve a priceless antique pistol, known as "the Mexican"... or suffer the consequences. The second is from his girlfriend Samantha to end his association with the mob. Jerry figures alive and in trouble with Samantha is better than the more permanent alternative, so he heads south of the border.

Yes, any horizontal distance is the danger, but that's not generally what movies show. An example is the movie 'The Mexican'.
Birdshot is somewhat powerless anyways, at even minimal distances, although I wouldn't particularily volunteer to be on the receiving end.
Ask Dick Cheney's hunting partner how this feels. I believe the doctors were more concerned about a pellet traveling to his heart/brain via an artery (possibly causing a heart attack or stroke) then the damage to his body.
