Now, see, I hate games like that.

The fact of the matter is, if you were on an island surrounded by highly 
trained mercinaries and you were armed only with a pistol, you wouldn't 
last five seconds. Even if you did kill a few enemies, you'd die within 
minutes. There's really no need for games to make the enemy unkillable 
to make the game hard; you just need to make the player character die 
from a realistic amount of damage. (IRL, 1 bullet can easily be fatal.)
