Red Dead Redemption is an amazing game and proves that main character doesn't have invincibility. He also certainly isn't a one man army. You can't just run out and try shooting everything or you'll get killed pretty fast. Ducking and covering is a must if you're not partnered up with someone.
The cover system doesn't change the fact that the majority of the missions involves single handedly killing an amount of goons in greater numbers than the population of the entire settlement you're "protecting". It's all about subtlety. The first time you try out that shiny revolver on some goon's head it might be fun, but it loses it's mojo real quick when a game throws a 100 more of the same mindless apes at you in the same mission. And another 100 the next.
