* LittleUselessGun: Tries to shoot Havia with a small concealed handgun. Unfortunately for Flag, it's a one-shot holdout gun with an effective range of maybe five feet and that's when you're not shooting from the hip.
* NeverBringAGunToAKnifeFight: Thanks to Flag bungling his attack on Havia with the above gun, he's promptly stabbed in the heart.
