A lot of people complain about him not shooting it down. They are missing the message. He decided he wasn't a gun. He was a shield. Something that protects not harms.
@@Mr.Guy202 I think he did know how, I mean he he obviously knew how to fly without being hurtled off a cliff again. Falling from a high altitude and being shot at all seemed like they were bringing back the memories of what he was built for, which includes using these capabilities. I think he didn't shoot it down because for the whole movie he had the mentality of a child, and that never did change. He was a child who had been "raised" to value life above all else, and then that automatic defense routine kicked in and he still remembers all the death he caused in that state. It's safe to say that as of that moment he became a traumatized child. Seeing his own limbs turn into weapons again would probably send him into something like a panic attack, so it doesn't even occur to him to try it. Sacrificing himself probably would be much easier than reliving his murderous rampage from moments before.

Also, im pretty sure he didn't know how to pull out a gun at will without going full defensive again.
