Look I get it, you are English and it's in your blood to be a pussy. Come over here and stay with me for a couple of weeks and I'll make a man out of you. I'll take you shooting and you can experience for the first time the feeling of testosterone in your veins.
I have many military style guns to train you on. We don't even have to go to a range. We can shoot on my own property. If you hang around long enough, I'll teach you how to reload your own ammo. I have several kinds of powders and bullets to choose from and different calibers too.
It's possible if your friend had a gun, since there were 5 attackers, that they could have taken it away from him and shot him with it.
You don't know, and neither do I. Both are possible. Other possibilities include your friend shooting and killing his attackers, and being prosecuted for excessive force, since they only had a stick and he had a gun. I admit it might have prevented any violence, but it might also have caused more violence.
Why do you assume only the positive outcome? Confirmation bias much?
