Earlier I said the shootout didn't bother me, and really I guess I let it slide, since the rest of the episode was so good. But a couple of things:
Yes, there should have been more damage, considering some of the Samcro guys took the awesome tactical stance of walking down the street, Res Dogs style, firing their guns. I suppose they thought that their sense of cool was good enough cover.
It looked like one of the Mayans went down, but I guess it was just a flesh wound, I don't remember seeing a body on the street, or anybody scrambling to grab a fallen comrade.
Didn't the leader of the Tribe go down? Isn't that who Jacks ran to drag to cover? Because in the next scene, he is without a scratch.
So, yeah, I rescind my words, pretty sloppy shootout, fellas. Hope they don't continue down the action without ramifications route, because until then the show's been pretty good about dealing with the darker side of things, like murder and mayhem.
Or, maybe all the meth and pussy makes you heal faster. Kim Coates seemed to recover from that ass bite pretty quickly.
