I'm not sure he really means that. it doesn't seem like Vila's style somehow. Mind you he does seem a fair bit harder in the early episodes.
He's right with the others in urging Blake to kill the disarmed Travis in Duel, though. And he helps Avon with the set up in RoD.
That's sort of at a remove though. He happily shoots down pursuit ships too with getting squeamish, but face to face he has trouble with violence.
