Its funny how they always shoot Luke first

They shot Luke at the office building and then they shoot him again at the finale, they could have take out Jess and maybe DD easily instead of trying to beat them all in melee.

I think it's more due to the others ducking out fo the way when people are about to shoot while Luke just stands there.

no , in the office building fight the gunmen focus on him first, thats excusable I guess since they didnt know about Luke ability but at the finale they shot at him first again then later at Jess which Luke protect with his body. Why do they choose to shoot the black guy first out of the four when they should have known by now.

Yeah, Luke obviously knows very well that he can take a shot (best he avoids another one like in Jessica Jones), thus he doesn't need to run for cover like the other bulletproof-less heroes. But that being said, they shoot him first presumably because... and this is assuming they're aware of his abilities... he's the most physically imposing and seemingly indestructible member of the group. So by shooting him the hand's cronies probably want to succeed in doing the impossible. Either that, or, they're thinking what else can they possibly do in order to take this guy down? Naturally their first instance is to shoot him.

Daredevil can dodge bullets.

only to a certain extend ,remember he was shot once before and Claire had to help patch him up.
