Dick has it right... Practicing at close range, "from the hip" as it
were. We used to practice, aiming by feel, not by eye. Prone,
sitting...
from the side...

Military laser target designation systems are totally different.
They are closed loop with an optical detector providing control of
where the round goes. One person or system "illuminates" the target
with a laser. A detector receives the reflected laser spot and
controls the weapon and round to be fired. As long as the target
remains illuminated with the laser, the round doesn't miss.
When the police train, they use bad guys targets.
The the elite military forces train shooting at bad guy targets and life-like dummies.
Yeah, I hear they actually went down to the local union office and took
pictures of the members coming and going so the dummies faces, would
look like real crims...
When you train to for home defense you should be shooting at bad guy targes and not bulls-
eyes. I could care less about the laser on your weapon.
