**Marksmanship** was the ability to accurately fire projectiles into targets. This most commonly applied to the use of firearms.

## Skill users

### Sharpshooters

**Mikey Guzman** was an incredibly skilled marksman, at one point killing seven shamblers with shots to the head using only three bullets. He was so skilled that Scott Ward offerred him $500,000 to join the Götterdämmerung heist.

**Scott Ward** was able to kill alphas during the Götterdämmerung heist about as quickly as his gun could fire, accurately and rapidly dispatching dozens of rampaging alphas as they leapt around the room.

**Brad Cage** was an incredible shot, using his dart gun to quickly knock out several security guards across the lobby of NPIB Prague within seconds.

**Vanderohe** was more than adequate with firearms, taking down multiple charging alphas with shots to the head during the Götterdämmerung heist with ease.

**Soccer Mom** rapidly gained large amounts of experience dispatching groups of zombies during the zombie wars, which was a skill she continued to hone through her time looking for her daughter with Las Vengeance.

The **Las Vengeance recruits** were able to take down over 800 zombies, most of whom were alphas, between the six of them during their first mission with Las Vengeance.

**Chambers** maintained a surprisingly steady hand as she faced shamblers for the first time, quickly dispatching them one after the next with clean headshots, even as they groped at her.

**Kate Ward** wasn't necessarily a master marksman, and she wasn't great at maintaining a level head, which could throw off her aim, but given the chance to breathe she was adept at taking down charging alphas.

**Ludwig Dieter** hadn't used guns for most of his life, indeed, was nervous around them. However, after receiving a brief training session with Vanderohe, he learned that he was a natural. His first zombie kill was a little rough, but quick and effective nevertheless, and once he'd done one, he had an easier time focusing on taking down the alphas that later attacked.

### Average shooters

The following people are capable of using guns in some form, but haven't demonstrated sharpshooting skills. This will include soldiers, since it can be assumed they have basic military training, and other characters who carry or use guns without necessarily hitting targets. This does not include characters who hold a gun for a purpose other than arming oneself (such as handing a gun to another person) or those who only use a gun ineffectively. This also does not include imagined gun usage, such as Damon's use of firearms.
