History ImprobableAimingSkills / VideoGames

* ''VideoGame/{{ULTRAKILL}}'' features the Marksman Revolver. Its secondary fire flips out coins. When V1 shoots those coins, the bullets (or railcannon beams) ricochet off the coin to hit the enemy's weakest available point, shotgun grenade cores, rockets or glass panes. Moreover, when there are multiple coins, the shot bounces off every coin before hitting its target. In addition, when V1 shoots the coin when it sparkles or falls at high speed, the bullet will split on two with both halves aiming at different aforementioned objects; if all the coins are falling fast enough, you can split the same bullet ''several'' times, with each piece hitting a different enemy right where it hurts most. Things get even wilder with the Sharpshooter Revolver, which is [[GunTwirling twirled]] into firing a bullet that ricochets all over the walls, floor and ceiling; V1 can apparently tilt his aim enough that these bounces have some auto-aim for enemies and even ''coins''; even without the latter you can still hit a whole slew of enemies in several different lines, or hit the same enemy five times with ''one'' bullet. All in all V1 is an unusual example in that while he depends on the player's aim, when the mechanics give him any degree of agency in the shot he can pull off ''insane'' stunts.

* ''Franchise/MortalKombat'' has [[{{Cowboy}} Erron Black,]] who utilizes all manner of guns during combat, and one of his intro dialogues has him responding to a taunt of his marksmanship skills by saying, "I've hit a hummingbird at fifty yards," to which his opponent admits is pretty impressive. You can see it in full action for his X-Ray/Fatal Blow: In ''X'', he gets a bullet to ricochet in the opponent's insides incredibly destructively. In ''11'', he shoots two guns behind him and have the bullets bounce off two coins, ''right into the opponent's eyes''.
* In ''VideoGame/NewHorizons'', a new captain will observe gunners missing even at point-blank range. But once fully leveled, they will go to sniping enemy ships hundreds of yards away with perfect accuracy.

* ''Franchise/AssassinsCreed'':
** Altaïr, the main character of ''VideoGame/AssassinsCreedI'', also displays an unbelievable level of accuracy with his throwing-knives. His knives always hit, even on a moving target that changes direction unexpectedly, and ALWAYS kills instantly, without even giving the victim a chance to cry out. Well, unless it's one of your 'Targets', in which case they just basically ignore the throwing-knives for no apparent reason.
** Ezio is the same with throwing knives in ''VideoGame/AssassinsCreedII'' and ''VideoGame/AssassinsCreedBrotherhood''. He also has a small pistol, which is extremely accurate for those days. In ''Brotherhood'', Ezio gets a crossbow, which will hit (and instantly kill) anyone he aims at. In fact, {{Stealth Based Mission}}s become really easy once the crossbow is introduced.
** In the trailer for ''VideoGame/AssassinsCreedIII'', Connor is able to hit his mark in the chest with an arrow while in mid-jump. Granted, he wasn't very far from the target to begin with, but still.

*** Another excellent short story from ''[[VideoGame/TheElderScrollsIIIMorrowind Morrowind]]'' features a slave from the [[ArcherArchetype archer race]] who coaches his owner's son on how to hit his target by firing ridiculous wild shots, on the basis that one should get a feel for how arrows fly before bothering to try to hit anything in particular. The father is furious that the slave is not training his son the way he asked, so begins beating the slave. The slave, while being beaten, continues to coach the pupil on taking wild shots straight into the air. The son ultimately scores a perfect hit on the slave's intended target... which, to the pupil's dismay, is the father. In other words, this archer is so good he can line up a perfect shot, with ''someone else's'' bow, ''while being beaten with a stick''. "Bullseye!"
