[Sam is living proof that her straightforward approach most definitely helped. The bomb careens off course, exploding a couple of yards away from its intended target, and so when he and the others near him duck and cover their heads, they're recovering from shell shock instead of a loss of limbs or, worse, not recovering at all.
His vision clears in time to see his comrade sinks her....knife(???) into the Regency soldier's leg, followed quickly by the latter's body crashing on top of hers.
He's moving before he even thinks twice, his finger already on the trigger of his hand gun. He closes the distance quickly, and before either of them can entirely recover, he's placing a palm against the attacker's head, forcing it down face first into the ground next to the person pinned beneath him, and fires directly into the back of his head.]
