I read in the book Growing Up Brady that Lloyd Schwartz prepped Mike Lookinland for this scene. He told Mike to picture his own family killed while Jesse James shot them. Afterwards he was debriefed.

This was definitely dark, but speaking personally hearing Jesse actually saying "bang bang" was so silly it lessened the moment. I get that the Brady Bunch couldn't actually show real gunfire, but I think a fade to black scene as Bobby looks on in horror would have been more effective. Regardless, this was an extremely well-done episode, with a valuable moral still applicable today.
