    Try this out, it worked for me, but I lost. 🙂 I have fixed several minior bugs and made some adjustments to the HTML, which where not the problem. The problem here was the array – which was local variable to the second function, but not to the third – I have made it golobal variable as pos, but reset it in roll (your original definition looked it should be reset there).

    The first function not need a and b arguments, since it does not use them.
    I have moved all the stuff in the tag of the page, but you can also all script contents it in a separate .js file for readability:
    <script type="text/javascript" src="path to file"></script>.

    Tell me if this work for you, too.

    <!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
    <script type="text/javascript">
        var pos = -1;
        var myGun = new Array;

        function randomSort()
        {
            return parseInt(Math.random() * 10) % 2;
        }

        function roll()
        {
            myGun = [];
            myGun[0]="First Slot";
            myGun[1]="Second Slot";
            myGun[2]="Third Slot";
            myGun[3]="Fourth Slot";
            myGun[4]="Fifth Slot";
            myGun[5]="Sixth Slot";
            myGun.sort(randomSort).toString();

            document.getElementById("myArray").innerHTML = '';



            for(i=0; i < myGun.length; i++)
                document.getElementById("myArray").innerHTML += myGun[i] + "<br />";

            document.getElementById("myPos").innerHTML = "Position:" + (--pos);
        }

        function shot()
        {
            if(pos < myGun.length)
                document.getElementById("myPos").innerHTML = "Position:" + (pos++) + "<br />";
            else
                alert("you loose");

            return pos;
        }
