The Most Dangerous Game” Plot Change

In the story The Most Dangerous Game General Zarrof hunts down Rainsford but at the end Zarrof dies. He lets Rainsford kill him at the end. If I was him I would of shot him. General Zarrof was smarter than that and I sure he had a revolver on him. If I was him I would of thanked him for the little fun that we had then I would of put the gun in his face and pulled the trigger. I think that would of been the best way to end the story. ALso it would of made more sense.
