Hi! Here via... oh, I have no idea where I got this link.

This is a great discussion--Rodney shooting. I'll add a few scenes:

- in Aurora, when the Wraith wakes up, Rodney panics, flails, and fires his sidearm while running away. He seems to hit (or come very close to hitting) the Wraith, with every shot.

- in The Long Goodbye, Rodney panics and flails and shoots, and does hit John. (Oddly enough, in the same place the Super-Wraith hits John in The Defiant One.)

My conclusion: Rodney is and can be a damned good shot. But when he thinks about it too much (like in Siege), his nerves overcome his instinct, and he doesn't do as well.

YMMV, of course. :)
