History ImprobableAimingSkills / AnimeAndManga

* In ''Literature/AriaTheScarletAmmo'', Reki, whose signature quote is "I am a single bullet. It has no heart. Therefore, it does not think. It just flies straight towards its target", shoots the unilluminated clamp holding a bomb to the shadowed underside of a speeding bus off... from a distance of at least 200 meters... from inside a pace matching helicopter (think of the down draft on the bullet), through the siderails of the bridge that are flashing past several times a second... thus forcing the bomb to not only detach from the bus but bounce off the bridge to detonate harmless in the water. She is said to be able to shoot anything within a 2km radius without missing.

* Almost everyone in ''Manga/CityHunter'' and ''Manga/AngelHeart'' is a crack shot:

* ''Manga/{{Bleach}}'': The entire [[ArcherArchetype Quincy]] clan are this trope, most notably Ryuuken. He restores his son Uryuu's drained powers by shooting an arrow through a chakra point 19mm to the right of the sino-atrial node of the boy's heart without damaging the tissue around it. Uryuu wasn't standing still for this, either, ''he was trying to dodge''. Although a gifted surgeon familiar with the human body, Ryuuken needed NervesOfSteel to perform un-anaesthetised heart surgery on his dodging offspring with a giant flaming energy arrow.

* ''Manga/BlackButler'': Mey-Rin, one of Ciel's servants, appears to be extremely clumsy and easily flustered during her daily duties. But when danger calls, she takes off her glasses and [[CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass demonstrates off the true reason she was hired;]] her extreme farsightedness makes her a master sniper. She handles all manner of guns with no problem, and [[GunsAkimbo can dual-wield sniper rifles like pistols without skipping a beat.]] She's even said that she prefers to snipe without using a scope.

** Ryo Saeba is quite the crack shot. The first shot he ever fired? Right in the ear of a fighting boxer with a [[{{BFG}} .500 Nitro Express elephant gun]]. He makes many other difficult shots with his [[CoolGun Colt Python .357 Magnum]] during the series, but the best evidence of his skill came when he used a sniper rifle to shoot a rifle's barrel, a belt, a tie and the buttons of a shirt from ''about a kilometer away'' (the guy with the rifle and clothing shots could only [[LampshadeHanging whimper those shots should have been impossible]]. Being capable of shooting a person from a km away himself, he knew what he was talking about).

** The Mark Mark fruit allows the user [[spoiler:(the fishman pirate Vander Decken IX)]] to turn whoever he touches into a target so that any item he tosses will chase him down forever and hit him unless there is an unavoidable or faster-moving object in the way.

** The most egregious example is Umibozu, who retain his aiming skill ''[[HandicappedBadAss even after got blinded]]''. Really. Even Ryo's ability to shoot a rifle's barrel, a belt and the buttons of a shirt from ''one kilometer away'' pales compared to that...

** Justified for Keibu Fumakuchi, a CorruptCop capable of shooting a woman-sized target at about 1 km: he's an Olympic shooting champion, meaning he has both the skills and the training to do just that (it's a difficult shot for him, but he can pull it), to the point he's considered the best sniper in the world.

* ''Anime/CowboyBebop'': Spike Spiegel has a remarkable knack for shooting people right between the eyes even in the most frenetic gunfight. It carries over to his Swordfish, too; in "Boogie Woogie Feng Shui" he proves capable of hitting a fist-sized rock with a WaveMotionGun in flight.

* ''Manga/{{Eyeshield 21}}'':

* In ''LightNovel/AriaTheScarletAmmo'', Reki, whose signature quote is "I am a single bullet. It has no heart. Therefore, it does not think. It just flies straight towards its target", shoots the unilluminated clamp holding a bomb to the shadowed underside of a speeding bus off... from a distance of at least 200 meters... from inside a pace matching helicopter (think of the down draft on the bullet), through the siderails of the bridge that are flashing past several times a second... thus forcing the bomb to not only detach from the bus but bounce off the bridge to detonate harmless in the water. She is said to be able to shoot anything within a 2km radius without missing.

* ''LightNovel/FullMetalPanic'':

* The main character of ''LightNovel/LordMarksmanAndVanadis'', Tigre, will hit his target no matter what. Even if he's just using a flimsy bow after only practicing with it with two shots, or aiming at someone over 300 meters away, or ''[[ShootTheBullet shooting an arrow that was already fired]]'' from 400 meters away ''on horseback''.

* ''LightNovel/OkamiSan''[='=]s Ryoshi can shoot marble-sized balls with a slingshot with remarkable accuracy. He shot a moving baseball out of the way, for crying out loud!

* In ''LightNovel/RebuildWorld'', Alpha's targeting algorithms make it possible for Akira to aim accurately even in the worst of circumstances, like firing a sniper rifle one-handed in near-pitch black darkness or while driving a car or a motorcycle. Her aiming support is what makes it possible for Akira to take down monsters far more easily than he'd normally be able to, with a level of accuracy described by the narrative as "god-like". That said, she's not infallible, and she's also limited by Akira's own body and ability to draw a bead.

** Among the top contenders for main character Usopp's CMOA is when he hits the main antagonist of an arc with a rubber-band slingshot, while standing on the top of a tower several miles away while there is hurricane force wind, with perfect precision. [[LampshadeHanging The Marines present note that their guns aren't even capable of shooting that far, let alone successfully aim at that distance]]. He tops himself in the Dressrosa arc, when he snipes someone in a castle through multiple windows from '' ONE COUNTRY AWAY.WHILE IT WAS WINDY.'' And since the target was far beyond the standard range of his slingshot, Usopp had to account for the very non-standard trajectory from ''two'' different timed-activation boosters attached to the projectile. Usopp also once shot a ball from his slingshot through a crown on a weathervane chicken that essentially across most of a city. He initially didn't see it because ''it was so far away''.

Her aiming support is what makes it possible for Akira to take down monsters far more easily than he'd normally be able to, with a level of accuracy described by the narrative as "god-like".

** A manga episode have Nobita travelling to the Wild West, and realizing he's in the middle of a town infested with bandits. He somehow managed to out-gun two adult bandits, despite being a 12-year-old, albeit freaking out after witnessing blood firsthand. Dorami managed to come to his rescue in the midst of a heated shootout, give Nobita a gun that shoots "Sleep-pellets" (thereby turning the gunfight into BloodlessCarnage, and Nobita easily wipes out a town filled with bandits in a lengthy shootout by making all of them fall asleep.

** [[ColdSniper Lady Nagant]] is this UpToEleven, to the point that Snipe admits she's his AlwaysSomeoneBetter. Her Quirk "Rifle" lets her create a sniper rifle [[ArmCannon out of her own body]] and ammunition of her choosing from molding her hair into bullets, but her actual sharpshooting skill is explicitly stated to be all-natural rather than based on her Quirk. In her first scene, [[spoiler:she hits Deku's phone not only from far away, but through an oddly-shaped iron sight built into her sniper rifle, bipod and all, manifested from her right arm. Most snipers require a magnified scope and both hands on the gun to stabilize it. Then there's how she's able to aim such that she can curve her shots ''over'' a building to accurately hit a target.]]
