Clishmaclaver loved this cartoon from How-To Geek! 😀 
Some things just never change…
And, yes, there’s a handy trope for this! Check out TV Tropes for more hilarious  ‘Red Shirt’ information on the Principle of Evil Marksmanship or Stormtrooper Effect –
“This is a degree of Truth in Television, as by far most shots fired in firefights or combat are misses. Some sources report that in WWII, the average soldier needed to fire two hundred rounds for every hit scored on an enemy; numerous other examples are mentioned in the Real Life section of [TV Tropes’] page. So the fictional bad guys don’t actually suffer from unrealistic inaccuracy; rather, the heroes’ fictional performance would count as Improbable Aiming Skills in real life.” – TV Tropes
