is citing a scene from Collateral.
Good scene; notice, though, that Cruise's hit-man doesn't just shoot; he initiates with some verbal distraction, then closes on the alpha, uses his off-hand to deflect the alpha's pistol's muzzle, and moves in such a way that the others don't have a clear line on him; as he does this, he is drawing and firing.
This movie came out after The Last Samurai, and it's pretty obvious Cruise and/or his fight choreographer decided to integrate some of the sword technique that Cruise had to learn for that movie.
This goes back to my earlier post: definitely work on shooting skills, but also work on movement skills, so you can use one BG to foul the sight-lines / lines of fire of the other BG's.
Not getting hit is one of the main goals of any fight.
Cheers,
