You are correct , it will have an effect but some of these stories of 50-75
shots being fired within 15 feet and no one gets a scratch? Hardly a
professional marksman. A SWAT sniper should NEVER miss as for the fact is he
is a sniper and should be in hiding and not seen thus not in the situation
of having return fire .

You are obviously using much larger targets than the rest of us.

there is also a bit of a difference between shooting in a safe
environment at cardboard targets that don't move and don't
shoot back (I am not half bad at that either) and doing
same in a combat zone environment (about which I don't have
the beginning of a clue, but I'd guess it probably affects
one's marksmanship a bit)
