60 hours into the SA, killed 5. Not the person looking for other people, but they seem to find me. 4 were self-defense, but there was also one I consider a preemptive strike, he had some good gear on and looked quite hostile and was heading in my direction, I was surely going to lose a wild west shootout so I picked him off at ~100 meters with the SKS. 2 of them were shot with the twin barrel shotgun in a single engagement. They sneaked up on me with an axe and a bat but I noticed them in time whilst I was looting a barn. Haven't been killed so far and not planning to by exposing myself too much. Is a preemptive strike self-defense, whilst taking in mind that conversation might turn out neutral or even favourable?
