Hell with it. I would go all NYPD on them. I would shoot them both and then shoot 18 random bystanders for good measure.

The O.P. used the phrase, "attacking".
Anyone who has trained using force on force against thinking, moving adversaries or even better, anyone who has experienced an actual physical assault should realize that when an attack is made, action is faster than reaction. There is very little time to think, you have to ACT or rather, REACT.
When you are being attacked you are initially behind the power curve and you must get outside the attackers OODA loop & make them start reacting to you.
In close proximity if one is attacked by multiple assailants, other than verbal warnings for the sake of possible witnesses for your defense, ("he yelled stop!, drop the weapon!, leave me alone!, etc.").... the time for talk or "scaring them with your big black gun" is probably over.
If they see it & run away... great, that's a win. But at close distance they may try & possibly succeed at taking it away from you.
I would rather fight "attackers" who have multiple pistol caliber holes in them, than ones who are unimpaired.
There is a big difference between being threatened vs. being attacked.
Restraint is important but so is knowing when an aggressive counterattack is necessary.
Violent attacks are measured in seconds or microseconds...not minutes. You don't usually have lots of time to make a decision.
Thats a major problem with static training in front of paper targets that don't move or threaten... you get the illusion that you have lots of time to shoot nice little groupings in the center of the target.

That was one of the only movie scenes I've ever seen that was pretty much tactically correct.
I've always wondered who consulted w/ the director on that scene.
The OODA loop is the reactive process that happens in an attack.
Air Force Col. John Boyd conceived & promoted it related to dogfights in airplanes.
Most every high level firearms school teaches it.
It stands for:
OBSERVE
ORIENT
DECIDE
ACT
First you:
OBSERVE the threat... confirm its identity whether friend or foe, distance, direction, etc.
Then you ORIENT toward it... to better evaluate its intent, speed, proximity,
Then you DECIDE what your reaction should be, fight, flight, etc.
Then you ACT ...quickly & aggressively.
Example: When a person w/ a knife comes at you, if you step a couple steps to the side very quickly, then the attacker has to react to what you did.
So your getting back ahead in the power curve & making them react to you.
That reactionary gap hopefully gives you the time to draw your weapon & direct fire in self defense.
