I agree on that. Better to shoot at DG. What I don't agree on is wondering why Sinon didn't hit. In the first place Kirito himself has been shot at by Sinon, yet he's still standing there, among the remaining members in the contest. You'd think a person agile enough to dodge and deflect bullets wouldn't be surprised and left helpless if somebody else does the same. So, why didn't Kirito jump up and start running the moment Sinon pulled the trigger? DG would still have had enough time to shoot the Pale dude, but perhaps he wouldn't have, seeing Kirito running down the hill. Either way, Kirito would have actually tried to do something even if he had failed.

He's clearly not taking this seriously at all. I have to say I don't wonder why DG plans to bring back the Kirito who does take things seriously by slaying Sinon. Though someone here suspects DG is nothing but a cheater, but based on his behavior and performance in this battle alone, he's more professional than Kirito and Sinon combined. He might actually be looking forward to having a tough duel with the legendary figure from SAO. That doesn't mean he wouldn't be a cheater, but perhaps he's also a beater.
