[@Darth] This kind of logic is exactly why this god damned pillar of "guns r bad" has remained standing for so long. 

A human being with a gun on a shooting range? Is deadlier than any living being that we know of.

A human being with a gun in a real place, aiming at something that is avoiding being shot, and can survive being shot? 

Is not as powerful as a mage who can weave flames that can wrap around a human being like a hand.

That convention is fucking stupid. A human with a gun is not equivalent to a mild-powered character, they may have a similar damage potential. But the scope and room for error isn't the same.

At this point I see you won't move on your stance, because you're too ingrained in this belief. So I'm backing off at this point so I can get back to writing my character sheet.

Edit: No, I have been talking HUMAN TIER this entire time.

Double Edit: What I just described in scenario 1 is a perfect scenario in the absolute favor of the gunman. Literally no other scenario is as favorable.
