So Enjolras was shot by 8 soldiers, right?
Which means that 4 soldiers thought indipendantly ‘oh, my neighbour’s shooting the leader, I’ll aim for the other guy.’But what if each soldier thought ‘the leader’s the important one. I’ll aim for him, let my neighbour shoot the other guy’ and so they all fired at Enjolras and Grantaire would have been left standing, waiting for them to reload (a good soldier can fire 3 rounds a minute, but they’re not in any hurry), staring at his friend’s body…
WELL.
