I've seen enough combat footage of real people dying to real bullets to know that they do just drop down.
I don't think you realize what it feels like to get shot. I can promise you don't fall because "I'm supposed to fall! That's what happens in the movies!" You don't even realize you're shot for many seconds or even a full minute or more afterwards. So your theory holds no water.
All you realize is blinding pain. You literally don't even register the impact until you're already on the ground.
