Then display on my wall. He seemed to really get a kick out of it. Can't wait till the next time

There's a big difference between mostly dead and all dead. Mostly dead is slightly alive.

Actually the Failure Drill is a real Technique but wouldn't True Faith also work as well as/or oppose to specialized ammo and big guns?
just a thought.

At which time the troll/ogre will move up to you, punch you twice through the chest and rip off your head. Unless you're using specialized bullets or really big guns, trolls and ogres tend to be mostly bulletproof; armor 2 and a 10-box stress track means they could take a dozen bullets from the average gun with very well-aimed shots 4 shifts over their own defense roll (i.e. shots to the face) before they go down.

ahh I see now how you ment your references I am not musical in the least 
but i see what your going for.
one of the (many) problems with the Equilibrium kata is the guy that made it up wasnt even a martial artist just did what he thought would look cool.
now I know some people that for lack of a better term the "way of the gun" is their art. they live breath and sleep it. like zen archers and Kyudo (way of the bow) students. they understand how the gun should feel and reach out and touch their target before they shoot and action and thought are almost one and the same. (freaking wild to see)
but I have come across a lot of these type of people because of my background and experience.
all in all I think we are on the same page

opps forgot to add this if you want to add a RL touch to it add the Failure Drill to your character.
thats 2 shots to the chest and 1 well aimed shot to the head
you want some resource material chk out Jeff Copper father of the modern technique
a lot of his ideas are still taught & used today.

easy easy its just a suggestion for a game not saying its real life lol
but gunplay is a martial art. (martial meaning warlike) just because it does not have titles,belts, or sashes does not make it less of one.
a lot of systems do try and pass off kata as something you would do in a RL instance that why you see a lot of so called Black Belts getting the tar beat out of them because they have been taught a lie in a point system and never really got into the ring to 'grind meat'
I have seen "jam session" aka brawling (done by the un or under trained) and it isnt pretty lol
"fixed piece" to me is where you see a fighter completely in control of his actions and even the actions of his opponent. both in the ring and on the street.

gah, as much as the idea of gunfighting as a complete martial art appeals to me, that movie has no idea how katas really work in a martial art.
You don't USE a kata in an actual fight. All the kata is for is get your body used to shifting from one position to the next fluidly.
A real fight is more of a jam session than a fixed piece.
