It's actually impossible to kill someone (even if the target isn't wearing armor...)with an Ares Preador heavy pistol with a single shot if you have an average agility and even if you are calling the shot to a vital part ... ^_^

Average Agility: 3
Pistol Skill: none

So, the dice pool is 2 (-1 because he is defaulting to agility)

(He can't take aim... because he doesn't have the pistol skill!)

The maximum possible bonus for calling the shot is +1DV (reducing his dice pool to 1 dice...)

So, the maximum damage he can do (before the soak) is : 5P + 1 (Called shot) + 1 probable hit = 7P ? Not enough to kill a man...

And that's only when he is at point blank range...

Or am I wrong?

So kids... you can play with guns in 2070... There is no chance that you kill yourself accidentally... ^_^ Althought it might hurt a bit!
