This is fiction. In fiction, death happens for a purpose. Otherwise, it is only for shock value.
This has also been pointed out to me elsewhere:

anyone happen to know the casualty rate for Delta operatives? There are 56 casualties from all special forces listed at the Bragg Memorial since 1983. That's Rangers, Delta, Green Berets, I know some Air force TACP and Combat Controllers and of course a dozen or so Navy Seals have been lost too. however all in all since 1983 the special ops world has claimed loosing under 100 men. So I've never been down with "death = realism"

So yeah.

Bludd and Bazooka (and some Cobra Troopers) were the only ones to get killed. Two named character is a pretty minor death toll.
What about Storm Shadow and Zartan, you say? They’re not dead. Whenever it’s implied that a villain dies but you never see a corpse, they always come back. Guaranteed.

If the gunshot didn't kill Zartan, the whole damn complex going kablooie sure did.
