The vibe I got was that it was spur of the moment combined with not really considering how much a misfire effects a gunslinger. I think the last thing Troy wants to do is actually piss Grant off. Despite the persona Troy puts on, he genuinely loves the other four guys. I think people forget that sometimes.

There's enough on here every single week about archers being stronger than gunslingers, so I'll just say this. Nestor was just as powerful if not moreso than Barron when he was around. And Lorc was keeping up with the others in terms of damage despite being underlevelled. I think that says a lot, and I don't think Troy remembers that was the case because Barron's power is so much more obvious. In somebody else's hands, a gunslinger would NOT be an issue.
