Burt and Shirley didn't have kids, he had nothing left in the world to hold on to that reminded him of what she was and who she was other then that weapon. The finger was nothing he can over come it any good marksmen can and will over come with time a handycap like the loss of a trigger finger. But the loss of the desert eagle will be hard. Part of me is glad it happened like Osi said maybe now he'll grieve her and let her go and find something to live for in what's left of the world now.
No, it still doesn't ring true for me, it was just too much, regardless of any emotional attachment. On re-listening it wasn't just Bill, Scratch was over he top in that small section as well. This is how it sounded to me, others may well feel it was bang on.
