Yeah, reasonable force depends entirely on the situation.
This man, for instance, was quite rightly (in my opinion) acquitted for firing a harpoon into another man's face, irreversibly blinding him. It was reasonable force for self defence under the circumstances (plus, it's a cool X-ray).

That farmer, Tony something, who had the Daily Mail, The Sun and Littlejohn blowing their tops when he got five years in prison for shooting a burglar dead, on the other hand, deserved to go to prison. He shot a boy in the back with a shotgun when the boy was several feet away, climbing through a window in the opposite direction, trying to escape.
