You didn't state the # of goops, so I'm assuming only 3, the one watching the door and the two who are armed. If there are more, they'll be dealt with accordingly.
Speed and decisiveness are of the essence. Any goop with a gun is going down upon sight.
If I can access the M97 before the goop enters, I'll stick with it through the firefight; if not, my trusty GM is at my hip. No time to be switching guns if I have to alert the hostage holder to my presence through the sound of me shooting the goop coming at me.
As soon as I dispatch him, I'll move
FAST to the front room and take down the hostage holder, and then any other armed gangsters from closest to farest. Team with buddy (he uses whichever gun I didn't use) and search any goops for weapons, then hold them for police.
