Variations apply: sometimes the gunshot is a BaitAndSwitchGunshot. Sometimes it comes from a third character watching the struggle. Sometimes [[IJustShotMarvinInTheFace it hits a bystander]]. Sometimes [[DeadfootLeadfoot it hits a driver]] or [[DisposablePilot pilot]], if the fight is in a moving vehicle. Sometimes it's non-fatal, or [[StrayShotsStrikeNothing doesn't hit anyone/thing at all]]. Sometimes [[BulletHolesAndRevelations it's not immediately obvious which of the two was shot]]. But a gun will ''always'' [[ChekhovsGun go off]]. Because that's [[RuleOfDrama dramatic]].
