** Bob's vows are more about the spirit than the words. Despite saying he wouldn't use a gun he does do it - on a supersoldier who could recover from it in a month without any risk of death or long-term harm. When given a sword and facing his mortal enemy he fights with it sheathed. It isn't even a not killing since he is willing to MercyKill a mortally wounded ally at their request.
