A billion to one!

Same, it was a bit of an overstatement lol

According to the story within the post, a Frenchman and a Russian would've been saved. Lucky them!

Thats only if the bullets they fired where exactly at each other and nothing interfeired and no one oved or got in the way. Who knows, something strong-ish and metal got in front of one of the bullets and it ricosashed of that and hit someone else. They could have ended up accidentally killing on of their comrades. Plus guns back then were hardy acurate. There are way to any other things that coulld have happened to just asume that the bullets would have hit the other person.

True. Or the bullets could have glanced of each other

A billion to one isn't bad at all. Hitting the lotto is much, much, larger, and yet it happens.

Yep. Lucky them though, saved their lives

But then they get shot later (PLOT TWIST)
