This is a curious question - usually, today most caliber weapons would result in near instant death. Small caliber bullets would most likely cause tamponade (blood filling the pericardium and stopping the heart from filling) and death within a few seconds. Large caliber bullets rip the heart apart and cause death instantly. Now there is almost always a few seconds of Consciousness where the person shot realizes their are shot but death is so quick that there is not time to respond.
