With my luck, if I were ever in that situation I'd go for a no contest shot like into an eye socket and end up getting pegged myself by a riccochet.
Walking I get. But power walking? Why not just run for a shorter time?

Sawyer probably missed because he aimed, squeezed his eyes tight shut and then pulled the trigger.

I think Theo's on it. I hadn't thought about it before, but Saywer's fucking up the Marshall thing makes a bit more sense in light of what we saw later, too. He may have wanted to/thought he needed to do it, but I can see him shying away at the instant and pulling his shot just enough to make the whole situation worse.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Kate, I think, is cold enough to have pulled it off (the think is because I'm still unresolved on what she's meant to be). Sawyer is less cold than her, by miles.

I don't know... she had the opportunity herself, but turned it over to Sawyer instead. Though whether out of softheartedness or to avoid suspicion is anyone's guess. But I think if she had made the decision to do the deed, she could have made a bank shot using a mirror and been more accurate than Sawyer.

I fear I give Kate too much credit.
We'll see.
I hope.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
To avoid suspicion, probably, but maybe also not to have that particular death on her conscience. I mean, any more than it probably was. I think it would be harder for kate to be cold about it than Sawyer or someone else, just because she had personal involvement with him and knew it, and it was a secret.
I mean, people would look back on it and her differently if they found out later who he was and who she was if she'd been the one to pull that trigger.
However, had she done it, she prolly would have done just fine.

Well, considering she's demonstrated Chow Yun Fat chops with her shooting, I think you're giving credit where it's due.
Or are you talking about her being stone cold?

I'm talking about almost anything that's not been directly demonstrated onscreen, and even then ... I wonder.
I don't feel comfortable extrapolating too much out of Kate. I'm not sure what there is there, with her.

That reminds me of how I wish "Homecoming" had turned out: instead of Jack miraculously developing prizefighter skills and and Charlie turning executioner, the former gets his ass thoroughly kicked by Ethan again. At some point, we just barely see Ethan's head peeking around his victim, then BLAM! Bullseye gunshot wound and Ethan falls dead. The camera spins to show empty jungle, then races dozens of yards through the trees to reveal Kate calmly aiming her pistol.
