That, and we're using a pistol with a proper grip. That requires two hands. And yes, half the quest participants seem to want to do stupid bullshit no matter the situation.
At least /Sabrina/ isn't really threatened by any of the witches she's had to deal with, and typically has Mami, Murderface Akemi, and/or Antimagic Kirika there with her for support in most of her fights with *anyone*.
PLHM's participants /literally/ got Homura shooting herself in the head, and not in some desperate last-ditch effort to rid herself of a fatally compromising disadvantage.
If you go through the quest and look at the times when *TRULY* stupid things happened... you'd notice that it's when I either wasn't able to respond early enough to get a handle on the vote, or when I was utterly dumbfounded by something.
When I don't write the votes, there's a very good chance they're... like that.
