Otherwise they would have just standing there going, "Bang!"
Hee -- I'm now imagining Charlie firing his five rounds into Ethan's chest and ending up with one of those little "bang!" flags instead.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

You'd have to be really dodgy on the heart to have that.
Hee! So funny.
I think Jin is attractive, or at least does more for me than Jack or Sawyer. Sayid is attractive, but oddly the hand kiss he gave Kate made him less so to me. Of them all, I am most attracted to Locke, though I don't really know why. The crazy eyes, maybe.

Dude, Locke is incredibly charismatic. And, well, HOTT.
You'd have to be really dodgy on the heart to have that.
Hee! So funny.
I stole that from Eddie Izzard.

Otherwise they would have just standing there going, "Bang!" That's not going to kill too many people, is it? You'd have to be really dodgy on the heart to have that.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Naveen was reasonably pretty before the whole "I kill, torture, devise, and now I'm wet" thing. That just makes me helpless.
You forgot the wet wife beater, to show off the wet arms.
I'll be in my bunk.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
Am I crazy, or is it actually a bit unlikely that the first 6 people you point to all know how to handle a handgun? I mean, Locke has the survivalist thing, and Sayid's a soldier. They're given.
But, like, Charlie is from England, where even cops don't get guns most of the time. How did he not fire the gun once into Ethan and five times into the air, and then pee his pants? Or better yet, try to fire and then realize the gun had a safety lock or something.
Looking around me, I don't know many people who could pick up a handgun without holding it awkwardly. (I know a couple of people who've had rifles, but none to my knowledge own or have ever owned or maybe have ever touched a handgun.) Then again, I wasn't raised in an environment/culture where guns are common, so maybe most people are comfortable and capable with a handgun.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
is it actually a bit unlikely that the first 6 people you point to all know how to handle a handgun?
That's why I wasn't surprised that Jack didn't give a gun to Kate. However, of the six, Locke, Sawyer, Jack (by self-selection), and Sayid are hardly random. We know Kate's niftier with guns than your average bear.
Charlie's the only truly wild card -- it's not about the first 6 at all.

Thrive to spite them
Wasn't Charlie at fairly close range?
I'm willing to hand wave Charlie. As for the 6 people being able to handle a gun --they weren't just random. Kate it's been shown knows how to use a gun. Sawyer is suspect, but maybe he figured if he got close range or something. Jack -- maybe he goes to the shooting range to work off stress (I will speak from experience that my one time at the range was fun).
I really don't get the Locke-oost. Partly because I don't find him physically appealing and second he's just way too creepywierd cross the street to avoid.
