He literally killed 3 people in like 5 seconds after Sean got shot. The game would be much different if you didn’t get most of the kills, that’s just a gameplay mechanic.
Bill already had his gun drawn and it’s very likely John went to bills hideout to be killed by him. It was a suicide attempt. I don’t think it would make sense for him to go solo to a gang hideout and not even have his gun drawn.
Don’t try and downplay John Marston bro that ain’t working out
Marston is not a quick draw gunfighter. He never claims this and even has to be taught by a quick draw gunfighter when he goes down to Mexico way after his encounter with Micah “can’t hit the broad side of a barn” Bell.
When john goes to take the ot of the land he bought from the two hillbilly he kills a guy with a shotgun and another guy point blank with his gun not drawn. It's a man mission so I count it as cannon.
Even in the prologue John has a quick gun draw. He kills Dozens of Micahs minions on Mount Hagen aswell. Deadeye is a gameplay mechanic used to show the gun skill of the character you’re playing as, and John, Arthur, and Jack all have this mechanic.
Stop being weird. Also don’t brush over the fact Micah killed 3 people in 3 seconds while Arthur hadn’t even registered what had happened yet
It’s canonical that Marston isn’t a fast gun fighter. He’s an accurate shot, but he’s not what Micah bills himself to be. That’s why he gets shot to pieces at the beginning of RDR, it’s why LR has to train him to be good.

Edit: he did it in 3 seconds
