There appear to be several issues with each sentence.

1. Change 'use to' to 'used to'. Remove 'before' as it is redundant. Change 'firearms' to the singular to agree with 'model'.

Dolly is lucky that she used to play paintball with her brothers, giving her an ability to use any model of firearm.

2.Change 'the' to 'their' to match with 'them'.
I still don't understand the sentence - what can 'block their victims' mean? Or how can it be changed to be something meaningful. I think perhaps 'them' should be changed from a pronoun to a noun, and 'block' should be changed to 'trap'. And we can replace 'their victims' with 'them'. Humm a very different sentence!

She thinks that their enemies had destroyed the cave entrance to trap them.

3. Remove 'make her' - it is redundant.
Add a comma after 'again' to make the meaning clear.

Desperation to live forced her to use her skill again, but this time for real.

4. Change 'was' to 'is' in two places to match tense of 'remembers' and 'connects'.
Add a comma after 'that' - not essential but it works.

Alyssa is about to give up until she remembers that, at the fortieth floor, there is a passage that connects to another building.

5. This sentence works better with a past-tense. Therefore change 'It's' to 'It was'

It was her last chance to escape.
