gore - noun blood that has been shed, especially as a result of violence.

But yeah I get what you are saying. To me gore is when the bloodshed carries a certain impact. Just having a bullet scrape you or having slashes on your arm isn't enough to be gore. Even a gunshot to the chest isn't really gore unless it is a shotgun pellet or something of some power. A heads-hot is certainly gore however. Actually if it contains "impaling" I consider it as gore instantly. Kagura was clearly impaled.
