Items Required:    A firearm (handguns preferred)
Difficulty:        ****
Missions:          None
Strategy:          Although it is classified as an "execution style" this 
                   maneuver doesn't actually kill your target. Instead, they  
                   are disarmed. The key to getting this style is to hit an 
                   enemy gangster in their right shoulder pressure point, so 
                   that they drop their gun. Although this sounds simple 
                   enough, it's actually quite difficult. First of all, most 
                   enemies will not have their guns drawn until they enter 
                   combat. As a result, using wall cover so you can take your 
                   time to aim (assuming the enemy hasn't spotted you) won't 
                   work. This is because a pressure point shoulder shot doesn't 
                   count unless the gangster has their weapon out. If you do 
                   get an enemy to see you and draw their weapon, they 
                   generally try to take cover behind whatever they can. Most 
                   of the time, this involves them crouching. This makes it 
                   even more difficult to hit the pressure point (which is 
                   pretty small to begin with). The key to getting this rather 
                   difficult execution style is to put points into your 
                   shooting skill when you level up. Not only will this 
                   increase your accuracy and decrease the time it takes for 
                   your reticule to tighten, but at levels 3, 6, and 9, you 
                   will increase your disarm chance by 25%. To get this style, 
                   your best bet is to use a weak but accurate handgun (such as 
                   the revolver) and try to get yourself in a position where 
                   your enemy isn't crouching or taking cover behind something.
                   A great way to do this is to kneecap them, then, while 
                   they're stunned and on their knees, take your time lining up 
                   the disarming shoulder shot. You may have to wait for them 
                   to get up again, as they might have put away their gun. 
                   Remember, your crosshairs will turn red when you have the 
                   pressure point selected, so that should be your indicator as 
                   to where you should aim. Although you can use free-aim, 
                   locking on to your target and then adjusting your crosshairs 
                   will most likely yield better results. This may style might 
                   require some extra point allocation, accuracy, and skill. As 
                   a result, it may be one of the last ones you achieve.
