Last Breath Bullet: Subverted. Especially shocking in that it's the hero's former best friend gone bad who's trying to take him with him.

The Starscream: Whitey Du Sang is The Dragon to Big Bad Barney Rebstock. When the Posse is closing in on the gang at Rebstock's ranch, Rebstock tells the rest of the gang to scatter while he holds the posse off for as long as possible. While the rest of the gang obeys, Du Stang stays behind; believing that Rebstock plans to betray the gang to the posse and keep the loot for himself. He confronts Rebstock and kills him before attempting to steal the loot and dying in a shootout with the posse.
