No gang members ever die in shootouts??

How is it possible that NO gang members die in any of the shootouts?

I mean, there is so many shootouts with 3-4 members from the Van der Linde gang against 15-20 O'driscolls/lawmen. They die ALL THE TIME, and yet NO gang member from our gang dies.

I guess you could say that the Van der Linde gang are very skilled outlaws, but it still seems so unrealistic considering how many shootouts there was in the game. The closest we was to seing a gang member die in a shootout was when Bill got captured in Rhodes, but he managed to survive.

Btw, im nit talking about cutscenes, just "free-shooting" in story-missions. Of course gang members died, but that was just in cutscenes (Sean, Hosea etc.)

From a technical point-of-view, of course it's difficult for Rockstars to kill off a character in free-shooting and much easier to do in a cutscene. I understand that. However, for me it still takes away a big part of the realism.

Anyone else who has thoughts about this?
