Okay, here's something I don't get. In this episode Gastro+Grip+Smog say that they didn't give the actual virus because they didn't want to "become killers of a bunch of respectable junior-high kids", but in the previous episode, Gastro does a headshot against the puppet that he thought would be Chiba with live ammo, which (I'm assuming) would have killed him. Can someone explain this contradiction? Is it explained differently in the manga? Or did Gastro semi-expect the puppet thing and reverse-reverse pschology himself/the viewers?

Or is it like a different situation because in the hotel the students were going for him (in some sense) while at the beach it was more of a sneak attack on the 3 assassin's part?
