He gets the shot off. Yes. But the rule says nothing about WHEN that shot
occurs. It doesn't say he gets the shot off before the opponent, only that
he gets it at all--which needs to be stated since normally missile weapons
can't be used in melee.
Barring any specific rule to the contrary (as with polearms) actions occur
on the user's DX. That's when this final shot is supposed to occur.

No, there isn't. The missile weapon rule doesn't address order of attacks
at all. What there is here is some brain fade on SJ's part NOT to have made
a rule such as I believe we both agree should exist.
