I've killed everyone I've shot at with it :O

Don't run constantly; tap the shift key to give yourself short bursts.

So?  Grab/throw, run to next guy, rinse & repeat.  After seeing you 
throw one guy in the air, about half the others will turn & run.  Not to 
mention their aim isn't THAT good (after you sprint a few yard, they 
typically need a few seconds before they can hit you well, and by that 
time you've moved on).

Granted, it's not like I'm invincible or anything; I tend to die four or 
five times for every major fight I'm in before I get past it.
