**** Actually, ''only'' because he's immune to the local guns. He usually spends so long targeting before he draws that he gets shot...and receives yet another small dent in his armor plating and then puts a laser blast through his opponent. (That's how he was destroyed, since this time he was up against a Colonial Warrior, armed with a weapon designed to destroy Cylons with a single hit. This may explain why they miss so much: They know they'll always lose if they take long enough for their aiming system to lock on.)
