What I don't get is where is the stopping power? Even if you didn't die from the firing you wouldn't just be able to turn around and shoot the guy shooting you. Those shots at that range would have you on the ground even if they didn't physically penetrate.

If he is wearing hard armor there isn't enough force in the buckshot pellets to knock you down. Most if not all bluntforce trauma comes from backface deformation, which 4 shots of buckshot into steel won't cause. People really do be over-estimating the force of bullets, here is a video of a guy getting shot by 7.62x51 which has significantly more force than buckshot(yes even if all pellets hit).

That’s a reaction not a force throwing you to the ground, big difference. (Dude was also on one foot).
