About: Gunpoint Banter   Sponge Permalink

An Entity of Type : owl:Thing, within Data Space : 134.155.108.49:8890 associated with source dataset(s)

Oddly enough, it is not common for either character to actually end up shooting the other. While potentially dramatic and good for narrative purposes, this trope can still come across as annoying, especially if the two (or more) characters involved each have very good reasons to shoot one another and have demonstrated that they have no qualms with killing. Note that, like Mexican Standoff, this trope does not have to occur with guns; bows, wands, and other such weapons may be used in their place, so long as all of the characters involved possess them and have them pointed at someone.
