[And how the hell are they supposed to do that? As Norman starts shooting, Joel takes advantage of the moment to pull the combat shotgun out of its holster. Drawing in a deep breath, he sights down the barrel as the monster comes charging at him. This time, he can't fucking miss.
BANG goes the shotgun, and this at least makes a dent in the creature, throwing it back with the force of the blast. The recoil's a bitch-- Joel grunts at the impact as he shifts, trying to get a better angle. He doesn't want to get any closer to the monster OR the gas tanks if necessary, but maybe the gun would be enough to drive it that way.
It's scrabbling to its feet as Joel approaches, taking aim and shooting again.]
