Shootouts are actually kinda expensive and risky for everyone, yeah, especially in the nuclear wasteland, where everyone is short on stuff in general, and you are one mishap away from dying to untreated wounds (by the way, originally stimpaks were kinda like panthenol on steroids - great for rashes, cuts, scratches, burns and flesh wounds, but did jack shit to heavy injury like broken bodyparts - you needed medical attention from an actual fucking doctor instead) or to thermal shock, or to dehydration or starving to death. So it's in your best interest not to get into one, at least if you don't know what you're doing. Basic Sun Tzu stuff.
