Line 50:
* In ''[[Honor Harrington|Field of Dishonor]]'', Honor puts four rounds into a professional duellist, before he can even get one shot off.
* Jack Holloway in ''[[H. Beam Piper|Little Fuzzy]]''. Someone cried a warning, he turned, going for his pistol, and saw a [[Mook]] pointing a gun at him. As two different people commented afterward, pulling a gun on Jack Holloway is simply a way of committing suicide.
* ''[[Hammers Slammers]]''' Joachim Steuben. It took threetwo-fifths of a second from the moment he reached for his [[Bling Bling Bang|highly ornamented pistol]] to his having killed three men, all of whom had their weapons drawn;. atAt least one of them was already aiming at him (and '''very''' eager to shoot). He fired so quickly, in fact, that he wouldn't have been able to get off a fourth shot, because the plastic cartridge disc of the third shot melted from the heat of his rapid firing and jammed the pistol's action.
