Given our earlier observations of White's ability to hit what he's
shooting at, he should strive really earnestly to shoot himself in the
head; and kill Mr Pink when he misses.

If that's not an option, he should realize there's little hope of
surviving - either the Russian roulette gets him, or Mr. Pink will
shoot him immediately following a miss.  Therefore his best hope is
that Pink expertly spun that single shot into the firing position and
through a series of deft maneuvers, position himself close enough to
his opponent that he can attempt to preemptively murder Pink.
