A gunshot wound can vary wildly in terms of incapacitation. Depends on how determined the person is. A single bullet can kill a person, but usually not instantly. There's something call the 'Mozambique drill' or 'Failure to stop drill' in which, to ensure someone goes down, you fire two shots to center mass, and then one to the head. That's a pistol drill though.
More importantly, though, at a certain closeness it actually gets harder to keep your aim on a person with a full-sized rifle. And once someone is close enough to take a few long, quick, desperate lunges and grab at the barrel of your rifle (ie the kind of range you'd be in to talk to someone), you're on very bad ground.
