His dagger might end up in your chest, or it might end up in the tree behind me. Or it might end up with him trying to chase me, and giving up. Why? Because he's already pumped up and enraged. It's just a matter of time before all that adrenaline wears off, and mine only JUST started going into overdrive. I'll outlast him even if he chases me.

No need to shoot anyone, in this scenario.
