I think that goes back to my other gripe: "Stay a while and listen!"
Think of it as you need to be calm down first.  You're full of adrenaline when you have a weapon readied and your likely to smash anything you can.  Press C to Calm down first and then open the barrell.  I think restricting the players actions and putting words in their mouth like that is too much.  
Great interpretation, friend :0).
I am completely against those stupid pop ups.
