Lol. That really was an accidental typo.

As I've often said, there's a pedants' curse.
Whenever you correct someone, you will almost certainly make a mistake yourself.

Heh. I think the actual skill on the screen, though, is Thrown Weapon (Pistol). It's what everyone does upon running out of bullets. (Zero damage and zero effect, from every example I've seen so far...)

Anyway, here's a trio of gunslinging PCs (Pedantic Characters):

Three Musketeers
Duty (Military unit)
Guns (Musket)
Soldier

Three of those.

Umm, actually...

That was probably their enemies' propaganda. Extreme Fanaticism (Nizari Isma'ilis) would probably fit better. Duty (The Sect) is generally required, and Secret (Nizari Infiltrator) is another strong possibility, though not of course universal.

You forget the classic Superman B&W stories, in which George Reeves would stand there laughing as gangsters blazed away at him with their guns, then duck and dodge when they threw their empty weapons. Implying that he was immune to bullets, but vulnerable to thrown guns.

Now that's pretty funny. "Ha! Your bullets are no match for my muscles of stee.. Hey, watch it, buddy! You could hurt a guy throwing those things!"
