Other than the horrid tactics, I really can't fault them that much. It is easy being armchair quarterbacks with 20/20 hindsight, seeing things from the camera's viewpoint. Now, that circular shootout? Duh, what were they thinking? That the bullets would just magically stop as they passed by the BG? Number of shots fired doesn't really affect the quality of the shoot, there's other tactical reasons to shoot rather than aimed fire directed at the BG -- the concept of suppressive intimidation fire is quite well known and defendable. Either the shoot was justified, or it wasn't -- the number of shots fired is just a statistic.
