Spanish term or phrase: tirar
In one tape the bad guy asks the undercover agent the following:

Vas a tirar primero o vas a ver a los muchas primero?

El responde: No, voy a tirar primero, porque no me quiero involucrar tanto.

El otro dice: Ah, pero la presion es buena para ti.

Any idea what tirar means in this context?

Also: Me voy a dar un chavorazo>

neutral  Steven Capsuto: That was my first thought, too. But some context would help. Is one of them armed? Is the agent's girlfriend in the next room (leaving another possible meaning open), and so on.
