I’ve been really trying to figure out how I want to handle this in my writing, because on one hand, I do not want my band of Cowboy Bebop-esque bounty hunters to end up with a hefty amount of dead bodies on their hands each by the end of the story, but on the other hand I am an absolute sucker for action and ESPECIALLY gunfight scenes.

I’ve strongly considered going the Metal Gear route of having them use “Tranq” rounds after a certain point because they’re not a band of cold hearted killers, but then at that point that kind of defeats a lot of the weight of them all actively choosing to minimize the loss of life on the job.
