Thinking of a scene where a detective confronts two guys in the syndicate and they have a close range firefight with revolvers and semiautos but I'm having a hard time thinking of how to describe and format it. Any advice or places I should look?

>Crime never pays Manocchio
>Theres two of us and only of you detective
>I got quick hands
>we got quicker guns
>that may be true but I'm holding an ace up my sleeve, and you two are short-changed and will never change.
>Tell your partner, detective Tom I said hi.
>You bastard.
>The two Italians whipped open their coats, exposing two semi-automatic weapons holstered across their chest.
>The detectives training kicked in, and he leaned on one knee, pulled out his revolver and one Italian lay dead before the the two could even aim
>Manacchio was faster than his dead partner. Taking aim and revenge, he began unloading on the detective.
>The force from the blows on his chest knocked the detective nearly off his feet as he went crashing down to the dusty floor.
>Manacchio was too filled with satisfied rage to notice his bullets produced no blood, and as he leaned his gun over the detective's head to give his final farewell, a shot rang out, piercing Manacchio through the heart.
>Bewildered and in disbelief, he staggered and with a gun pointed nowhere, let loose the final shot of the evening before collapsing.
I like this, just make your characters speak like Joe Pesci and it's gold, you motherfricker you.
Beautiful
>>he leaned on one knee
the detective nearly off his feet
little plot hole here, but good writing, anon. Especially... (wait for it)... shooting from the hip.
Hemingway has some pretty good (albeit short) gunfights in For Whom the Bell Tolls and To Have and Have not. Islands in the Stream does as well but as I recall it wasn’t really the gunslinger kind of thing you’re referring to. If you looked up the titles and “gunfight” you might find them.
Very helpful thank you

Familiarize yourself with all the relevant technical details. Dashiell Hammet's "tips for writers of detective fiction" is a good (brief) starting-point.
For example:- if someone fires a large-calibre handgun next to your head, and you aren't wearing ear-plugs, you will be deafened permanently.
>the detective confronted the two syndicate guys at close range
BLAM BLAM
>he sure confronted them good
Yh bro they are destroyed to extent that you need not fear retaliation.
You must kill one as a lion and the other as fox
a snake poisons slowly after the bite but the aryan doesnt need to use such israeli tactics

I think youde need to learn some martial arts to write about close quarters well.
Usually murders do not work like that. You hire the quiet guy to pick up a knife go up behind a c**t and just stab him to death then walk away into the night,
