I agree he wouldn't deliberately kill them. But, after the kidnapping, when he knew they were playing for keeps, I think if he'd had the dynamite at the beginning, he'd have used that on the boats. He only used the cocktails because that's what he had available. Molotovs first explode in a big fireball and *then* start the fire, so they're not exactly benign. ;-) And, as he showed with Deputy Dave, he was definitely not averse to causing injury had they not thrown away their guns. Again, I agree he wouldn't deliberately kill them - if that had been his intention, they would have been dead. At the same time, if, during the course of the 'battle', one or more of them ended up dead, I think his feeling would be, they asked for it.
I mean, realistically, he's not exactly the most stable person, he'd just been kidnapped at gunpoint, locked up with complementary flashbacks, been physically attacked, forced to jump out of a 7-story window into the water (does that sound familiar? LOL), and then been shot at by a gang of trigger-happy yahoos whose intentions are very clear - I think, under those circumstances, "scaring them" was at the bottom of his priority list. I know it would be for me. ;-)
