That firefight was a jpke! Hank and Gomie were standing out in the open. Not behind the vehicle - they were 10 feet away! Standing - out in the open - firing away! While Uncle Jack and his crew were behind their vehicles with twice as much semi-auto firepower. I don’t know what Gomie was using - it looked quite big cand capable, but Hank was firing a pistol for crying out loud. Just standing there and shooting a pistol.

Later during the firefight - Hank and Gomie moved to take cover. But to be real - it should have been too late for them.

Oh well. The privilege of the writers...

Agreed, there was a huge amount of “artistic license” in the shootout. Apparently the gunplay continues into the opening scene next week, so perhaps the realism was suspended until then. We’ll see.

Yeah, I felt the same way about the firefight, but at this point the writers have a lot of ground to cover. It was still a good episode. Much better than 5x12. To me that was the worst episode of the entire series.

I still think that if they were going to kill off Gomey and Hank it would have happened this episode, and they'd at lease be wounded by now.

Especially since the same redneck crew wiped out the other gang in a 30 second fire fight.
