I've done full weapons training (mostly subbys(Uzi, MP5, MP5K, MP5SD) and rifles(AK47, M16) but some pistol) for a couple of reasons (Work in cambodia where you carry arms for security reasons and for paintball licnece) , we were trained to aim for 3 targets depending on the goal, head/center chest for kill or shoulder to disarm. Secnet training i did was partly based on H&K training - the most elite training organisation in weapons use and handeling in the world.

Goodness... you're extraordinarily well-trained. Tell me, which companies hire 16 year-old Australians for armed security work in Cambodia? And, which companies train 16 year-old Australians to handle machine guns?
FYI- the M-16 fires a high-velocity 5.56mm round, the AK-47 fires an enormous 7.62mm round, and the Uzi and the H-K MP5 variants you mentioned all fire the venerable 9mm Parabellum. (Personally, I think the 9mm is a little underpowered, but a lot of people still like it. The +p and +p+ loads are nice, if you can get them. But I digress...) Getting hit in the shoulder with any of these rounds would likely be fatal. Kinetic shock alone (forget about the bullet itself) would cause massive trauma to the brachial plexus and possibly even the pericardium; and, if the brachial artery or basilic vein gets torn, you'll probably bleed to death before they can get you to the hospital.
Anybody who ever taught you that shooting somebody in the shoulder isn't likely to be fatal is either a liar or a fool.
When you go off to university, be sure to take a class in human anatomy, even if it's not a requirement for your major. It's a fascinating topic!
Hope this helps!
