Hmm, are they trying to find potential new outcomes to their traditional conflict? Or are they trying to protect each other from same traditions? With one weapon each, it could make sense either way. With two, I’m stumped.
A Mexican stand-off won’t work if each party has two guns. The smart thing in that case is to shoot your two opponents before they can shoot you. It’s only when each party has a single gun that it results in a stand-off, because shooting one of your opponents will get you shot by the other opponent.

Something, Something, Reservoir Dogs
Rock paper scissors
