It seems that many people on the server do not currently understand what classifies as being held at gunpoint. Being held at gunpoint means that you are close range and are actively aiming at the person being held captive.
As shown in the above picture "Hugh" has a clear chance to get to cover behind the corner and draw a weapon to defend himself or outright run off. However, in the below picture there is no valid reason, other than "Fucking" fully knowing that "Fredy" is going to kill him, that "Fucking" can flee either to safety to get a gun out or until he has escaped.
In addition, once shots have been fired everything about being held at gunpoint goes out the window. If you start shooting someone it is perfectly valid for them to run away or return fire. For example if you have just shot someone’s car to disable it and they are forced out they can run away or start shooting back unless they have no reasonable chance of escape.
- If you move away from whoever you are holding at gunpoint such that your view of them is blocked they are no longer at gunpoint and can run or draw a weapon of their own.
- If you look away and your back is turned for period of time long enough that the captive(s) could get away or take out a weapon then they may do so.
- If you take someone at gunpoint near a corner where they could reasonable run around said corner and flee or defend him/her self they may do so.
