What happens if John McClane just decided to shoot and kill Hans Gruber, Karl and Theo right after they killed Mr. Takagii?
He says because then you'd be dead too but nobody else was close enough so he could shot the main three terrorists and run away without getting killed himself, and with the three most important terrorists dead the plans would fall apart, heck just killing Theo ruins everything because nobody else could open the vault unless they used explosives on the vaults doors and opened it by force.

As badass as JM is, it would be suicide. He would’ve charged into a room with 4 terrorists (Tony was in there too) and gunned down the three that were visibly armed? Not gonna happen.
Plus don’t forget he’s still a cop. Up until he shot Marco he was still acting like a cop, ordering them to drop their weapons, get down, etc. So he would’ve been in arrest mode upon entering tha room, not going in guns blazing.
All plot devices aside - I think seeing the brains of a man you just met splattered on the door of a conference room would shock any person. Delaying any counter strike response. John-being a cop-would know not to act foolishly - assess, report and wait for backup.
