11. How Did Harley Know To Play Dead?

Putting aside why exactly Deadshot would, after knowing her for all of a few hours, choose to not kill Harley in exchange the opportunity to reunite with his daughter (it's not like she's proven herself as a "good" person), how does she know at the sound of a gunshot to play dead for a moment before jumping back to life as a big gag.

Even if she did the math (using the hypotenuse, for course) that mopey Will Smith wouldn't off her, it's not like Deadshot's the only person there who can hit a target either - it could have been any one of those damned soldiers firing on her, and they're unlikely to miss at that range.

Similarly confusing, everyone seems pretty happy to have her back mere minutes later, despite her having betrayed/deserted everyone there.
