Especially when who you are shooting is holding a gun himself, and likely to pull the trigger in a muscular reaction to being shot.
I think they would have told Tracey the plan if he had given them the chance, but he was not in the mind to listen to them.

Yup.
Mal: "We're not gonna die. We can't die, Bendis. You know why? Because we are so... very... pretty. We are just too pretty for God to let us die."

Also toss in the fact that his guts were hopped up, strange, and probably in the wrong places and it would be impossible to shoot to wound. Unless one went for a limb, which = dumb idea in combat.
It could be that his vitals were so out of whack with his prototype innards that ANY serious wound would start a collapse at that point.

Yes, and that's irritating me a little bit. Why shoot to kill? Mal could just injure Tracey, could't he?
The woods are the only place I can see a clear path.
well, as i look at it. tracey did not really give mal and book a chance to explain before he pulled the gun and shot wash. besides, tracey was not really acting very sane when he pulls the gun. also, when mal shoots him, tracey is threatening a member of his crew. considering how much mal cares for his crew members, he may feel completely justified in killing tracey. of course, mal would not give tracey to the fed because he would not be too particularly fond of womack either.

Mal is just sick and tired of being played for a sucker--it's like being called "petty," it sets him off.
