Yeah, I missed the "fake gun" part the first time I read it. I think half way through I sank into one of my Rambette fantasies where I push the gun away, whip around in a circle, drive my elbow into the bridge of his nose, head-butt his face to a pulp, jump back and kick him in the groin, and when he crumples to the ground, I grab the gun and blow him away. Then I save the hostages.
Then I come out of my fantasy and I've missed half of what was in the article. ;^)

Then I save the hostages. You skipped the heel-stomp to his throat once he's on the ground. Not only does it let you save his ammo for any of his pals who might be about, but it's quieter and doesn't result in lead flying around that might injure any of those presumably innocent hostages/bystanders.
