Shootout
A shootout is a gun battle between armed groups. A shootout often, but not necessarily, pits law enforcement against criminal elements; it could also involve two groups outside of law enforcement, such as rival gangs. A shootout in a military context would usually be considered a battle or firefight, rather than a shootout. Shootouts are often portrayed in action films and western films.
