Brass knuckles would matter.

However, they were outside, walking away is an option for self defense/preservation.

Also brass knuckles do not result in life being threatened.

I don't think you've seen the damage they can do.

As long as walking away is an option.... they don't justify a shooting.

There's more factors than that. Not arguing in either side of this specific case, but if the one with knuckles is much younger or faster, you don't want to turn your back and get hit in the head. You might have your own perspective on it, but even if you can run away, if you don't think you can get away, and think that your life is in danger, shoot, and let the court sort it out.

Brass knuckles are illegal for a reason. Again, not on either side of this as I haven't been able to look into it too much.
