For combat that is an excellent result.
"Now of course in combat when you are being fired on, it is much different, as you say." I have seen the best shot in a company unable to hit the broad side of a barn (from the inside) when the "bees" were whizzing past his ears.I was in Angola occasionally, and (trust me) 1 out of an hundred was a good result.
Training is not a firefight, nor is paintball! Nor is the cinema.
Cheers!
