It's like ... if you decide to include a scene someone get shot in the chest, than you should also show the blood and bleeding. Imagine if you see that scene with the character get shot, another NPC hold their hand crying as they're dying, lying in their own puddle of ... water (?) How would you feel about that? For me I'm pretty sure any kind of tension intended for the scene would immediately evaporated, and that's the kind of effect the rubber bullet thing had on me in term of the zone impression.
