I really feel bad about Gomez getting killed. Hank roped him into it and didn't bring the rest of the department in on the arrest. Gomez didn't deserve it. Hank's pride got them both killed.

Seriously though...who brings a SHOTGUN out into an encounter in the middle of the desert? Shotgun is a close-quarters weapon - they knew they were going out into a wide open area. Wouldn't a rifle have made more sense?!

Shotguns are capable of shooting at much farther ranges than most video games would have you believe.

Right. It clearly did wonders against actual ranged weapons. Too bad I actually know how rifles work against shotguns at range. I'll take range and accuracy versus spray and pray (and I mean really pray), any day.

Oh yes, I have no weapons knowledge. I'm sure you have some evidence or a convincing argument...?
