Did Gamzee survive all that gunfire because he was a highblood? Based on various beatdowns and what Vriska has said they seem to be really resilient. Terezi getting the shit beaten out of her, flung around by psychic powers, and getting impaled AND WALKING IT OFF. Vriska taking an explosion to the face at point blank and living. It would make sense if Gamzee were able to survive all that. Do you believe this to be the case???
That’s definitely one reason.
