Ah, it is admittedly a possibility but I am hesitant to give Carter that much credit or make any such assumptions regarding his lucidity. Plus, I'm sure that every cop as fucking dirty as him has a throwaway gun on him at all times. Then again, maybe not because he's a fucking nutcase. The stabbing of Zac was two thumbs up, though.We might think that Carter didn't use a gun because his only weapon was his registered police's gun. Disposing of a knife might be an easier matter.
Anyway, the real reason is: the Author decided that butchering Zak with a knife - instead of shooting him - was better. We agree with him.
Yeah, he gutted him.
Must have missed that. That explains it. Carter wanted to live to enjoy his victory and figured he had a better chance of winning Knife Vs Fist than he had of winning Gun Vs Gun. Not an unreasonable assumption.

Thanks all for the explanations. I guess the consensus is Carter was crazed out of his mind, and acting irrationally, and B it is needed by the script to wrap up all the impediments to the MC getting what he really wants, all in a single fast-moving scene.
It could have been a lot worse. Imagine the rage if the update ended with Emma and Zac holding hands and/or kissing in the movie theater, haha.
Didn't see any harem tags, so I'm assuming I have to choose a LI path in the dialogue choices. Can any1 confirm?
No harem. Exactly when you have to choose may not be apparent, but at some point your choice will be required.

It seems like the only choices will be Charlotte, Lucy, Kaylah, or no one. Emma thinks of MC as 'daddy' and Suzi is a lesbian.

at least he didnt end up with either emma getting chased or being held up by a knife once they pulled up
You may be right about Susi, but the jury is far from in. As for Emma, she may have thought of the MC as daddy yesterday, but with Zak dead and the MC as her savior who knows how she'll think of him tomorrow? DB has maintained that Emma and Susi are LIs, so we just get to wait and see what develops.

I've been giving some thought to Suzi as a love interest. I'm not sure how I feel about it. There is something to be said for winning the heart of a disdainful lady. There is something like an Arthurian romance aspect to it. The protagonist, after all, fits that knight in shining armor model. But this story is already Charlie's story, and that has actually made significant progress. It is a better fit. So what would Suzi's story be? Why would Suzi fall for MC, and other than his admiration of her body what would MC see in her that would induce him to forgo potential happiness with Charlie, Lucy, Kayla... heck, it would probably even break the heart of Emma if her sister did it with her father figure. Unless the story and both of their attitudes change dramatically over the next couple of chapters and they are given some kind of bonding activity other than yelling at each other over the phone I just don't see that love story going anywhere.
Maybe it is just that at this point the relationship is stuck in a perpetual hamster wheel that I don't see it going anywhere. Even if the gods intervene so that they both slip on a banana peel and his dick accidentally goes into her vagina I just don't see anything other than perhaps temporary physical gratification ensuing. Some others have indicated that there is some evidence that Suzi may be a lesbian, which makes a potential love match even more unpalatable. It is a VN trope that the MC's dick is so magical that it can change a girl's sexual orientation, but I've never been a fan of that one and I think that the writer can do better. The scene with the roommate sending the nude to MC is a typical example of what is frustrating about the story so far. The roommate's motivation makes no sense other than her being a total agent of anarchy. Suzi is angry at the wrong person about the wrong thing as usual, and the MC is simply bemused instead of authentically interested.
So where the fuck is all this going? Nowhere, apparently. Maybe Suzi will be the only one to visit MC in jail because she is the only one who appreciates MC giving Carter the General Zod chiropractic adjustment treatment. Stranger things have happened, but more likely she would spend the entire visit pecking away at him like a chicken with pellagra. So as a reader, why are we to root for a relationship between MC and Princess Vespa? Something in the story needs to change, and change fast, because she is supposed to be a main love interest and she comes off like human sandpaper while the MC just kind of looks at her like a graphical representation of everything he doesn't want in a woman.

I thought of that exact scene too. Not sure MC will regret it like Supes did, but it was the right call in the moment all things considered.

Despite people's strong feelings toward that scene, I find myself completely indifferent to it. Maybe it is my military background or just general pragmatism but until you are struggling for your life with someone who is trying to kill you and who has already wounded you you have no idea what you would do in that situation. Right or wrong, I have a feeling he is going to have to face some consequences for it. You don't get to kill a cop and just walk away, no matter if it was right or wrong.
You're absolutely right with everything you wrote, but you're asking for way too much=) I don't think there'll be any consequences at all... The story will just simply move on
I think it's been explained.
Carter never intended to face the MC tonight. He intended for MC to find Emma's dead body. Her and Zac's murders were supposed to look like a random act of violence or mugging gone wrong.
His plan got thrown out the window when MC arrived at record speed.
Now he's cornered, and MC threatens that if he kills Emma, MC will immediately draw his gun and kill him.
As much as Carter hates MC, he wants to live.
Instead MC offers to face him in close quarters combat if he releases Emma. Carter likes this idea. Sure the MC is special forces, but Carter has a knife and he's got some training of his own. He thinks this gives him a good chance of winning, and then he can go kill Charlotte and Emma to get rid of the witnesses and stage the scene to his liking.
Lucky for MC, the skill difference between them was bigger than Carter estimated but....all things considered...Carter made the smartest choice he could make in that moment.
MAYBE he should have drawn his own gun and tried to kill the MC but then it becomes a quickdraw contest and he might not have liked his odds in that sort of fight. It also becomes an accuracy contest and cops don't spend as much time on the shooting range as you might think.
He also might not have had his gun on him. Unlikely, but possible. He also might not have had a gun at all. As others have mentioned there are many hints suggesting this story is set in the UK, or some other Europe-inspired country. Many European countries don't provide guns as standard issue weapons to their police
Knife Vs Barehands was his best chance of winning. But it was still only a chance. A chance that did not land in his favor.

As he himself said in another thread
Never believe anything DIKDIK says
Emma is absolutely a future LI
I cannot speak about Suzi as I have not cared enough to pay attention (I always hate Tsundere shits)
I do believe Hannah will be a fuck and forget but you may have to search for confirmation on that.

I already have, never had, nor will I have interest in her, putting that aside, she has only just admitted to having feelings, Kaylah has been ready for breeding for a long time, fucking Charlotte Emma or Suzi ain't happening any time soon.
Hey don't be too quick to dismiss a trope. They become Tropes for a reason. Speaking to a truth that a vast and overwhelming majority of people can recognize, on some level or another. Exaggerated sometimes, sure...but they still resonate for a reason.
As the saying goes, every woman is Bi. You only have to figure out if it's "polar," or "sexual".
Suzi seems to be a bit of both. lol
