Editing Duel (section)

== Quickdraw Gunfighting ==

The bastardized, quick & dirty version of dueling.  Instead of relying on forms of etiquette, in a quickdraw duel the participants would simply face each other empty-handed at first, and then draw their weapons and open fire as fast as they could. [[Rules Lawyer|The survivor would then be able to argue that they only drew and shot in self-defense, since they waited for their opponent to go for his weapon first]]. Unlike duel gunfighting, quickdraw duels were basically always fought with intent to kill. Also, while they're a stock scene in cinema, unlike more formal duels quick-draws were actually pretty rare.
