But he didn't shoot Max Vatan, why?



Best Answer

Because we don't shoot people for kicking chairs!

The SOE official has the gun to defend himself if attacked.

Vatan isn't attacking the official (or the Army officer) he's just kicking the chair in frustration and outrage....and that's not something to be shot for!

Equally, the SOE need Vatan to keep Marianne in place while they identify her handler...another reason not to shoot him.
