It was dark and he was dark skinned with dark clothes.I trained with Marines in when I was stationed in Scotland and they are all VERY good shots. I myself have hit fleeing deer with the first shot fired on occasion.
Now of course in combat when you are being fired on, it is much different, as you say. But I still contend that Hollywood really does inflate the shots-fired-to-shots-home ratio quite a bit, especially when it comes to the bad guys.
