Quick Google results showed me between 15 and 20% lethality for single GSWs

That needs an addendum, otherwise it sounds like any GSW is about as lethal as covid19:

Not accounting for suicides and precision shooting, a single GSW is likely an accident, which drives the lethality down considerably. Filter out unintentional single GSWs and I bet the lethality is rather different.

This article indicates there's no difference, in fact, and is lower than the conservative percentage I was getting earlier.
