No comment on your first two paragraphs, but to say in general good point about both possibly dieing.
I strongly disagree with the third though. I (and quite a few people I'm sure) can close 15 ft before anyone but an expert trick shooter/fast drawer (or whatever you call them) could shoot me. Worse case scenario, he'd get off one wild shot that probably wouldn't hit me. I think you might be overestimating how far 15 feet is.
I'm not just assuming either, I've tried this experiment with friends (sans lethality of course).
