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.
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.
