A character picks up a gun, bow, crossbow, throwing-knife, shuriken, or other long-range weapon, and gains Improbable Aiming Skills.
This enables such feats as Blasting It out of Their Hands, creating a Pinball Projectile, knowing how to Lead The Target from kilometers away, or the Offhand Backshot (the firearm-based answer to the Offhand Backhand), and is in no way dependent on the factual accuracy of the weapons in question. A frequent user of this trope is The Western, where the heroes are often using guns that were, in real life, notoriously inaccurate at anything other than point-blank range, for feats that would make a modern-day sniper with a top-tuned high-tech rifle turn green with envy.
