Like, if you watch the ending of R1 without knowing how it eventually turns out, it seems fairly clear that you're meant to ask: "Who fired his gun? Who got shot?"
Perhaps the author envisioned that Nunnally (who seems to hear the gunshot) might be the one to ask this nervous question of her rescuer.
And, in the original script for the first episode of R2 (which you can find a translated draft of elsewhere on this blog — it was included as a bonus in the 2015 bluray box set I imported years ago), indeed it is only one of them who shoots, and one of them does indeed get shot, although Lelouch still never makes it to Nunnally, so this dialogue still wouldn't have made it into that alternate episode.
(This is very much as opposed to the final product, where they both fire their weapons but neither of them gets shot; Suzaku dodges Lelouch's bullet, while aiming wide himself in a move that was seemingly more intended to disorient Lelouch and leave him open for being physically tackled.)
