- Delope abstract "Delope (French for "throwing away") is the practice of throwing away one's first fire in a duel, in an attempt to abort the conflict. According to most traditions the deloper must first allow his opponent the opportunity to fire after the command ("present") is issued by the second, without hinting at his intentions. The Irish code duello forbids the practice of deloping explicitly. However, a particularly skilled marksman might attempt to delope unnoticed during a duel with a particularly well-placed "near-miss," intended to look like a genuine effort. This strategy was more convincing the further apart the combatants were.The delope could be attempted for practical reasons, such as if one thought that their opponent was superior in skill, so as not to provoke a fatal return shot. Deloping could also be done for moral reasons if the duelist had objections to attempting to kill his opponent or if they were so skilled a marksman as to make the exchange unfair. Deloping in a duel, for whatever reason, could be a risky strategy especially if the delope was obvious to all present. One's opponent might infer that he was being insulted as "not worth shooting" (an unworthy opponent) and either take care to aim his own shot to kill or insist on a second exchange.However, for one's opponent to insist upon a second shot after a delope was considered bloodthirsty and unbecoming. Often, it would fall to the seconds to end the duel immediately after a delope had been observed.".
