Two things I learned in the Army one was in training the other was from a Sgt. Sgt said

"A lot of the guys liked to say what they would do in a situation xyz however until you are in that situation you do not know what you would do"

. This is why you train for situations so when a situations happens your training takes over and body responds (not reacts) naturally. Now as far as the training part, in a near ambush you have 1 option you charge where the bullets are coming from screaming your head off and firing back, reason being at that close of a range (less then 50 meters) you don't stand much of a chance finding cover. Now in the situation described I think being aware of your surroundings and maneuvering your self into a defensible position or finding a different route to avoid providing an opportunity for the BG's would be best. All in all he is alive even if he feels violated at being taken advantage of.
