Because he had a memory of the war and thought this was a cruel game

Jonas stood still and silent when Asher shot at him with a pretend gun because he was experiencing a moment of realization that violence should not be entertained or glorified, even in play. This event marked a turning point in Jonas's understanding of the world he lives in and the values he holds.

What does the proverb beware of a silent dog and still water mean?
The Romans believed that things that seemed calm, IE, a silent dog and still water, could still hurt you. Stagnant water is often poisonous (which happens as the bacteria therein are allowed to multiply over time), and a silent dog can still (and if they are focused on you but are silent, still, and alert, very well may) bite you.
