Indiana Jones and the Great Circle devs say an Indy game 'could never be a shooter, should never be a shooter,' so they're embracing his signature whip, improvised brawls, and disguise-based stealth.. (www.pcgamer.com)

But that's not what that analysis was about. It's about whether or not it would be suitable for a game on indy to be a shooter and trying to see how synonymous he is with shooting. The Devs saying that him using a gun is rare. But this comment was comparing deaths by other means vs guns. Instead of just combat with guns vs other means.

i don't get what u mean. what else does he shoot? the point is gun combat is not the point of the movies. shouldn't he the point of the games either. he's known for hit hat and whip more than his gun.

I'm not arguing for it being a shooter. In arguing against it. Saying that comparing the deaths he caused and how is less indicative because there's more combat sequences that don't end in death, removing them skewed the data to make it look like our war almost a 50/50 on whether he used a gun or not in any given encounter. That's wrong. That's what I was saying.
