  GUNFIGHT AT BAD BREATH DISTANCE
  
  
  Staying as flat to the floor as he could, no longer able to aim, he stuck the
  pistol out and cranked off the last four shots in the magazine, at roughly
  ankle level. He was awfully aware of just how few rounds he had left, but his
  options were a little limited at that point.
  
  
  At least one bullet struck home, as one of the two men collapsed with a
  scream. He mashed the trigger of his Krinkov spasmodically as he fell, and
  bullets sprayed across the room, thumping into the table, the walls, the
  ceiling…and the man next to him.
  
  
  Blood sprayed in the dark, spattering against the doorjamb as three 5.45mm
  rounds tore through the second Mafiya shooter’s chest and neck. He staggered
  back against the jamb, holding a hand to his suddenly spurting throat,
  gurgling faintly, and started to slide down to the floor, as the other man
  thrashed in agony on the floor, grabbing his mangled boot.
