"There's that great scene in Unforgiven where Gene Hackman schools Saul Rubinek on how a gunfight unfolds. Lots of bullets miss their intended targets for lots of good reasons when you consider to take another man's life."

Get the deluxe edition of Tombstone, which contains factual information about the fight, including Wyatt Earps diagrams shortly before his death about where the gunfighters were, and the routes they took during the fight. The written material recites how many bullets were shot, and how so few bullets actually landed in flesh, despite the fact that the gunfighers shot while within feet of each other. Which makes the fight sequence in Open Range appear more realistic than any other Western fight scene that comes to mind.
