I've always wondered about this. Many situations, if both you and the bad guy have guns pointed at each other, chances are that as one side fires, the other side woud return fire. No matter who fired fired, both side has a fair chance for hits. Or even if the BG became wounded, he can continue to fire at your direction as you trade shots.

So for the sake of protecting yourself and trying to avoid getting hit, should you fire but with an emphasis on movement (laterally, diagnally, etc)? This way there's less of a chance for BG's shots to hit. Or should you focus on trying to hit the BG first, and worry less about constant movement to avoid getting hit.
