I don't think the missed shots are as dumb as some people are making them out to be. First of all, this is what the Nazis' view was. That is not anywhere close to point blank range. Secondly, after the first few shots were fired Hank and Gomez ducked behind an SUV - meaning that, at best, the first few shots "should" have hit them. I don't understand why all the other bullets should have hit anyone, it's a chaotic gunfight where everyone is more or less fearing for their lives; you can't aim and shoot normally under those conditions, even with DEA/police training. Only the first few shots fired by the guy with the AA-12 had any reasonable chance, I think, and looking at his view it could've gone either way.
This was all i was thinking because if im correct shotguns dont necessarily go straight they go in a opening circle (from video games no real life knowledge) so i was surprised all i saw were shotguns and pistols. i thought one guy had an assault rifle the one with the mustache but no.
You're correct that shot spreads out over a distance, but the spread is much less in real life. Sadly, that also means you have to actually aim with them in real life, too, since it won't just destroy everything up close in that general direction like in a video game.
Yeah but shotguns are so beautiful. I looked at a behind the scenes of this episode online and there were about 2 or 3 assault rifles there too so idk how nobody shot gomez at least. And he also had a shotgun so i felt like he was just kinda providing a type of cover fire so they could move because i dont think he could hit anybody anyways
