flipper44,
Actually the prisoner camp game was changed to 3 bullets in the chamber and no more spinning. Mike watched and saw that the bullets were loaded in consecutive chambers. Once the first two chambers were empty the odds favored the shooter to be able to go on the offensive by surprise with 3 out of 4 chambers with live rounds. Getting buy in from the friend to take the second trigger pull was the hard part mentally/ emotionally and was key to what happened in the rest of the movie.
In the prisoner scene everyone was laughing after the second trigger pull, the guards because they expected the next trigger pull to be fatal to a prisoner and the prisoner Mike expecting the next pull to be fatal for a guard. This happened while Mike was laughing, getting the guards laughing then got serious to focus on what he was about to do then started laughing again to get the guards relaxed and off guard right before he took the gun off his temple to shoot the armed laughing guards who did not recognize that the tables had turned. He then shot a second one and a third one knowing two pulls might possibly be needed with the first kill attempt but that two more live rounds would follow the first discharge. In the mean time the other prisoner, understanding the situation, got a guard’s gun who had been killed and started shooting as well.
Survival happens when you keep your mind in the game to find ways to improve your odds when others are loosing their own minds or are taken prisoner by fear. See any connection to FUD and investing in biotechs? May 10, 2022 maybe?; ). Best wishes.
