Sounds like someone was just being hyperbolic?
Where I'm from, the hyperbole would go "You'll get punched."
yeah that's equivalent to getting shot here in the US lol.
I would probably argue if someone said "i'm going to punch you" would be more of a threat than "you'll get shot for that"
Well yeah... That's America for you
Around me, the threat would be "That's how you get fucked up," leaving the level of violence ambiguous.
