It didn't work? I do it again!!!

Harry's first meeting with Nicodemus is actually a great example of a situation almost identical to this one.  NPC-cameo-of-the-moment empties a pistol into him from only a meter or two away.  She doesn't miss a single shot.  Spots of blood bloom on his chest.  He stands, annoyed, remarks on her lack of manners, and then, as she continues to fire, motions for her to hurry things along, because he has business to take care of, and her shooting him is just downright annoying.  But not threatening.

Actually, as the persistent attacks were all gun shots it was more of "Alright, you hit him square in the torso. He rocks back about half a pace and you see his head turn in your direction."  which led to three more rounds (no pun intended) of ineffective gunfire.

He probably should have gotten that but you can still be more clear. After all the torso isn't necessarily a weak point. You could describe how the attack hits his neck, his open mouth or his eye. If his chest is bullet proof shooting him in the eye could still have an effects. If his eyeballs are bullet proof it's time to run or change tactics.

YS 186-187: "If a character spends more than one fate point, on a successful attack only to discover you are completely immune to it, that character should be refunded all but one point."

I'm not sure of this applies (or has been covered already) but I just came across this in my own research.
