For those without a shooting timeer, can you start with riflebutt on your hip, safety engaged, finger outside of the trigger guard toss up a couple of soda cans and hit both in midair? It's not that tough, if you practice a bit with airsoft. The visible in flight pellets quickly show you what you're doing wrong. The hits occur at 2 yds or less of distance, typically, but getting hits on 2" wide targets at 2 yds is the same as hitting torsos at 10m, and plenty of gunfight action occurs at shorter ranges. A lot of it is 5 yds and less and often, the target is just a head, bobbing around cover. The Feds found out, in Miami, how hard it is to hit such a mark at just 10 ft, back in 1986. They missed Platt over 40x at less than 5 yds, and got half a dozen poor hits, while he had just one arm and they outnumbered him by 8 to 1!.
