How Difficult?

Guns/TL (Rifle) is an easy DX based skill.

I don't think it really takes much practice to get good at it.

I can hit a 3.5" circle at 100 yards pretty much at will with Wilma, especially since I adjusted the zero from the picture above.

That's a -8 to hit for size and a -10 for range.

I get +1 for braced.  +1 for All-Out-Attack (Determined).  +5 for Acc and +1 for taking a second to aim through a scope.  +5 for well lit indoor range.

-5 total.

Since I hit this target almost without fail my skill is at least 15.  Because 10 is the average roll and I average hitting this.  A miss by one is still within a 5" circle, which we can see above.

Does the math check out if we move the target to 50 yards?


 The range penalty is -8 now, giving me a 12 to hit the blue circle instead of 10.  The +2 to hit shrinks the average to a 1.5" circle, and this is close.

Cool!  I GURPS with a skill of 15 in rifle.  Same as my Guns/TL8 (Pistol)!

Perhaps even got it up to 17 based on the performance with Willard's M1956A2:
