Don't be too sure about how you would feel in those circumstances. It's a psychic blow.

It doesn't change the whole scenario, but it does make sure that the most important person, yourself, is well cared for. It is indeed a very stressful situation.
I have never shot another person, but I have been in a situation to draw once (long story). It was FAR more stressful than I thought it would be. Not in the moment, but afterwards. (Oh, and I did not fire).
