Would be an assassin if 1: he wasn’t dead, 2: he could fire a gun straight.

Failed assassin would be a better description I guess.

No, a "would be" (often hyphenated) in any terms is someone considering doing something. A would-be entrepreneur is someone considering starting a business.

Literally started with the hyphenated version LOL
