Yes actually. Hunters, especially big game hunters carried pistols with them to deal with animals and coup de grace. IIRC, magnum ammunition became popular because of the publicity of such a hunter killing an attacking bear with his pistol that used the new magnum shells.
Of course, in RL unlike an RPG, 9 out of 10 situations run like this:
Gangsters approach the archelogist and make threats.
Archelogist pulls sawed off shotgun and tells them to scram.
Gangsters say "Next time you might not have that shotgun."
Archelogist, "Ya, next time."
Gangsters walk away.
You have that the gangsters don't want to dei along with the archeologist not wanting to deal with police and san lose for killing them. Of course, such an incident will ensure that he'll have the shotgun next time also. Most role players however would just roll for intiiative.
