I don't know, I think this post furthers the point that you can't be trusted.
In a real-life scenario you were the one who flew off the handle and he was the one being reasonable as you were being split up in a situation where getting picked off because you're lagging behind is a frequent occurance, especially north of Cherno.
If you did shoot someone who was saying "stop getting split from the group" even if it was in a super douchey way, I'd imagine your group would leave you or kill you the next opportunity that presented itself.
Sure, it's a video game. However, in general complaining is a much smaller offense than random aggressive acts against the people you're around because you felt disgruntled. What if he had shot you the minute you caught up with the group instead of complaining about you lagging behind? It's probably fun for him to play with someone who isn't constantly checking their inventory just like it's fun for you to put your roommates "6 feet under".
Point is, be it a game or not, it's a stressful environment. If stressed out people annoy you, I don't recommend playing with a group in this game.

Playing with IRL friends is quite a weird experience, because you don't know whether you can trust their in-game persona.
I had a funny experience with one of my mates who was just starting out, I helped him a shit-load gearing up, navigating and we were just about to go hit the supermarket in Krasnostav when CRACK he took a winchester slug in the side of his head and went down like a sack of shit right in front of me.
He was pretty pissed and sounded so confused as to why I'd shot him, and I was shouting "I didn't shoot you fuck fuck fuck."
Sprinted round, found the guy who'd shot him lying behind a wall in front of us and killed him, then bandaged my friend when he had 200 blood and blood-bagged him. After that he completely trusted me (even when he died in the middle of nowhere to a random sniper that could easily have been me (it wasn't)), and you have to prove yourself in game in this way IMO in order to trust people (although you can take it for granted anyway but you won't get the same feeling).
But you break the trust just once simply because you're pissed off at someone and that's it, they won't trust you again.
And he was perfectly right, there's no need to be lagging behind that much from checking your pack, why check it? All you need to do is eat food and drink now and then, keep up with the group or get lost IMO because slowing a group down makes a huge risk for the rest of the group to travel with you: no wonder he was pissed.
Also a lot of people threaten to shoot others, but I have never seen anyone actually kill another person in cold blood like that when they are together on TS or skype. They can threaten, but they know the repercussions will be pretty bad so they don't.
