First and last time trying to fan a LeMat I think. Wonder if I would have had any more luck using the shotgun shot.

Seemed to work fine :P I personally only use what can pretty much be described as knife range fanning weapons (chain and sometimes uppercut) so there may be some bias there but it seems like you started initially fanning too far away. Especially since you can see the guy looking elsewhere you could just aim and kill them with a single headshot in the clip.
The shotgun blast requires you to be even closer or slugs and it's a bit fiddly animation wise to get out of it. Slugs are nice though.

Unlocking slugs was why I wanted to play it in the first place actually. There were a couple things I could have done better here I can see in hindsight but when you're thinking in the moment sometimes you just don't get to think of everything.

Only use the conversion pistol for fanning these days!

My favorite lately has been the silenced nagant myself. Conversion with dum dum is pretty fun though I’ll admit.

Shotgun would not have been more effective. It's more or less melee range for reliable one shots.

Oh I know. My title was meant to be more of a joke considering the seemingly terrible RNG I had in this particular instance.
I could have just lined up a headshot and not fanned at all but I didn't really think about it in the moment.

LeMat is most likely the best gun for fanning..

the Lemat is a MUCH more inaccurate pistol than the Pax or Conversion. the only upside to running the Lemat is the extra 3 rounds. The shotgun shell is kind of moot if you're using it for fanning too.
When I was completing the book of weapons for the Lemat, I only ran it when I had fanning since that's the easiest way to get kills with a pistol. It would pull through a lot of the time, but sometimes that inaccuracy would screw me over in basically guaranteed kills. I had a fully flashed enemy around the corner once and put all 9 rounds of fanning into him while measuring shots instead o f just holding it down. I hit once. Then he Romeroed me. I was less than 10m away.

If you're not being sarcastic here what makes you say that?

You got a kill and took no damage what is the problem here.
I didn't say there was? I thought it was a funny case of poor RNG so I decided to share.
