Why do bad guys kill good guys first?

I only analyze the final duel scene, the point is, why do the bad guys kill the good guys first?
Among the three people, the good, the bad, and the ugly, from the psychological level, the good person has the absolute advantage. Only he knows the specific cemetery of the treasure, and the other two are not sure whether he wrote the address on the stone, even if he did. Unable to determine the true and false, then they can't kill good people if they want to get the treasure, but can only kill each other.
Since the good guy knows that there are no bullets in the ugly guy's gun, he only needs to deal with the bad guy with all his strength. In order to confuse the bad guy, his eyes deliberately move between the bad guy and the ugly guy.
The ugly man does not know that there is no bullet in the gun. He is not sure whether the good guy has written the real address, but he can be sure that he has a hatred of the bad guys. Therefore, no matter from the psychological level or the practical level, what he has to do Just kill the bad guys first.
It stands to reason that the bad guys and the ugly guys should have the same psychology, and he is not sure whether the good guys have written the real address, but he is sure that the ugly guys hate him, and he is not sure whether the good guys will attack him first. , He should deal with ugly people first, but judging from the direction of his eyes before he draws his gun, he is going to kill good people. Why? Doesn't he want the treasure anymore?
The director's arrangement in the duel scene can be described as painstakingly.
When the three of them were standing, the bad guy was the last to move. Before he walked past the ugly guy, he saw that the ugly guy’s gun was hanging. This obviously did not conform to the general gun-using habit. I don’t know how many times I have practiced it. If the position of the gun suddenly changes, how much it will affect the speed and accuracy of the point.
It is well known that a good person’s marksmanship is better than an ugly person. Otherwise, the ugly person was hanged as a criminal at the beginning. Good guys have said that his marksmanship is more accurate than that of the ugly person.
Therefore, in such dangerous circumstances, the bad guys are no longer thinking about treasure, but life. He thinks that a good person can also see that the ugly person will have an impact on the accuracy of the shot, so he will be attacked first. Then in the case that both people may attack themselves first, the only option is to kill the one that is the most threatening to them first. . Killing good people first and then ugly people is a purely life-and-death decision.
In addition, the director also made a precise description of their psychology from the actions of the three people. The ugly person has the worst psychological quality and the most panic. He should also understand his disadvantages, so his hand is the first to get close to the pistol, the bad guy. The second hand is close to the pistol, and the good guy does not have a close-up of his hand before firing the gun, which is the most calm.
From this scene, it can be seen that the director Sergio Leone is worthy of a master level. He has meticulously crafted every scene, and is even more admirable for this climax scene.

    When the background is no longer just the background, from an overhead furnishings to a solid foundation, desire, good and evil, and life and death all grow roots entrenched in the soil of the civil war, so the story is no longer just a story.

    Although the ambition of trying to write more articles on history and politics is still slightly deliberate and blunt in the good or bad, but to achieve such an extreme genre, we can only wait for the subtitles to finish and applaud in unison. A great movie is that even if you know that you don't like westerns, you still can't help being brought in, infected, and admired. From then on, I no longer have a movie directed by Grandpa Hei Dongmu:)
