[ Jim barely gets the time to think before Itachi's throwing the weapon at him. He hardly saw him move, with how fast he was, and now he stutters as he reaches out to grab the weapon that's tossed over at him, eyes wide when he realizes what it is.
He's not going to use it. That's the first think that comes to his mind, actually, but it's a thought that flashes so quickly, there and gone, only to be replaced by the sudden shock and panic of watching as Itachi's caught and held at gunpoint.
Jim prides himself on his good reflexes; even better after the blood transfusion, not that he's ever told anyone that. It still feels like he's just a helpless spectator with how quickly he situation escalates, and any reluctance he might've had about the weapon on his hands is gone and replaced instead with quick action taking over, in the heat and urgency of the moment.
He lifts the gun, aims and fires even as the bandit is halfway through one of her yelled sentences. The blast goes right over Itachi's head and hits her square in the chest, followed by the pained scream as the shot burns her from the inside out, the sight equally gruesome until everything is consumed and there's nothing of her left.
There are still at least a couple more Bouldersnakes around them, but Jim hardly seems to remember that, breath sharp and panic rising quickly, hands shaking but at least not dropping the weapon yet. ]
