Why? Just why?

[Muncywolverine 236]

So i'm walking through Cherno on my way to the church trying to meet up with a friend. It's nighttime. As i near the church, i see another survivor with his pistol out.

I spot him first, and i've got my heavy big AKM trained on his chest. He still doesn't see me. I say in direct chat text.

"Guy"

"Sup"

He turns around and spots me, were like 5 feet from each other. He shoots me in the chest with his revolver and i fucking unload on him.

I didn't even bleed. (Does hero skin really give you protection against small arms fire?) I was in shock, but not even bleeding.

Why did he do it? Why still shoot? :/ He wasn't going to win that, ever. Why?

Edit: Sorry for double-thread. I need to stop double clicking post topic.

Greed? wanted that primary gun of yours perhaps. Or maybe you just scared him and he paniced.

Large towns are generally unhappy places full of unhappy people.

Most likely he was afraid of you shooting him, or just a bandit.

I am starting to think that most kill on sight situations are not caused by people being assholes but people thinking the other guy is an asshole and shooting first.

Most people think that the other guy won't have a chance if you're trained on him already. Which is mostly true, but remember that a head-shot will kill you regardless of whether it is with a Makarov, or an AS50. In that situation if they turn towards you, don't let them get a shot off, it could be the last thing that goes through your mind.
