Use two as a distraction in the front, keeping his attention from cover, doing things like running or trying to reason with him. Then have three jump him from the back and disarm him. Once he's disarmed, the first two move in and we take him out together (given they haven't been shot).

EDIT: One bullet? That's easy. Just find cover and wait it out. You just have to find ways to get his attention and get him to waste that bullet. After that, just jump him.

Fake having a heart attck and when he checks on me the other dudes will jump him and proceed to beat the crap out of him at which point I will get up and join in.

If he has no motive, how can I give in to his demands?

Well, I guess it would depend entirely on his demands. If he just wanted my money or something, sure. However, if he has no motives to speak of, of course I would try to take him out, what else could I do? Sit there and wait for him to kill me?

Push the two guys next to me forward and then duck. Once he wastes his shot, then I'd go and get myself beat up by a pro soldier who has a club and probably die anyways.

Depends on the mood. If the five hostages happen to be close friends and/or relatives of mine, I'd probably do what the crazy guy says to avoid anybody getting injured or worse. But if it's a bunch of strangers I'll probably be in a much more self-destructive mood and try to kick/punch/knife him in the crotch.
If I go, I want that son of a ***** to feel it.

Psssh. If you're gonna die, die with your boots on. If he's just looking to kill someone I'll rush him and see what happens.

So! Theres five of you (all of you are unarmed) and a some madman bloke with a gun, there is one bullet in the gun. What would you do? Would you do as he says? Wait for someone to try and take him on? Banzai his arse and try and get him to waste his bullet on you or disarm him? Call ar' Chucky boy?
WELL WHAT WOULD YOU DO!!!
BTW, HE HAS NO MOTIVE!!!
Some details: He has a .44 Magnum,, he's ex-army or something so he's accurate, if you take a step and he notices he WILL shoot you, your in an enclosed room, he's back is to the only door and your against the wall, he's close enough to have all of you in his area of sight and POO!
There's five of me? So, are they clones? If so, rugby-tackle him! There's no way he could kill all of me!

Hands up, keep talking, move laterally to make him split his focus among multiple fields of vision. Ask him his name, tell him mine, try to make as much of a personal connection as possible. Ask him about his family tell him about mine. Once I'm comfortably close glance toward the group, his eyes follow to see what I'm looking at. Boot impacts knee. Boot wins. Knee snaps. Isolate gun hand. Thumb goes between hammer and striking pin. Yell for help while I drop elbows on him. Next I sink the rape choke [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wb6hb7tKCq4] in place and drop big left hands.

I'm being facetious. I would try my best to talk him down and then go for the gun. A .44 has a retard long barrel that gives me so much torque to snap a finger with.

One Bullet?

Depends, if it was a single shotgun shell then I'd be inclined to listen to his point of view.

A single pistol round I'd run like hell, I know I should run in zig-zags but to be honest hitting any moving target is VERY hard and unless you are a bloody good shot you'll only hit a moving target by firing a lot of rounds (like a machine gun) and by law of averages one has to hit.

I would wait for him to go to sleep. Or try and all come at him at once, but I'm a pretty skinny guy so it would be like 5 stick figures running at him at once. So one of us would probably get shot but at least the other 4 would escape.

Also, I really do like flan... it's so good...

If the other four people are strangers: "Operation Human Shield"
If the other four people are my friends:
Step 1: Wait until he approaches all of us.
Step 2: Once within 5-6 feet, scatter along paths tangent to his line of sight.
(In other words, surround him)
Step 3: While he's tracking one of us, the rest hit him from outside his line of sight.

Reasoning:
Within 5-6 feet, a single step creates an adequate deal of displacement in respect to the shooter's line of sight.
By scattering along paths tangent to his line of sight, you'll generate the highest yield of displacement per step taken. (Tangent: 90 degrees off his line of sight)
A twin action .44 magnum will not jam, ever. However, you will be able to see how many rounds the shooter has in the chambers if he's aiming towards you.
If you're on the edge of the group, you should scatter first and do so while the barrel is trained on the far edge of the group. This will buy you the most time until the barrel is trained on you. (At 5-6 feet, at the far edge of his line of sight, you'll have about 1.5-2.0 seconds until the shooter has you back in his sights, assuming he's not intoxicated.)
Those 1.5-2.0 seconds is all the time your friends will have to disarm the shooter.

Do not attempt this if you have even the slightest doubt in your friends or yourself.
It would be best if you stay out of violent situations like this.

Peace in our time~

one) stand there and wait awhile then scream asloud as i can, in shock not expecting my move he'll either shoot me or cover his ears(in which case we rush him.
two) try to sign too my friends what the plan is and then fake having a heart attack(maybe others follow suit) if he gets close enough to check me(or one of my mates) the others kick his ass
