The third characteristic is an extremely developed positional sense. It\'s this sense that makes the difference between a great fighter pilot and a flying target. A person with this sense instinctively and without thinking about it KNOWS where everybody around him (or her) is at any instant. Also knows what they are doing and where they are going as if each one was displaying a vector. That allows them to sense where the target will be in a second or two. Fighter pilots can use this ability to rake a patch of sky with bullets and watch an enemy aircraft fly into them. Easy to get a list of people with this enhanced positional awareness - google \

Using Revy from BlackLagoon as an example, I watched her gunfights on the Anime several times. She certainly has all three categories but when she hits targets that are widely separated, it\\\'s under circumstances where the rate of change of position is not great. For example in Guerillas in the Jungle, when her car with Shenhua and Rock is being chased by several others in the jungle, the relative positions of the cars don\\\'t change. Her positional sense is enough to let her hit both of them. Normally though, she fires both guns at the same target putting down a withering barrage of fire. (By the way, something clicked with that - that\\\'s why Revy likes Berettas. In the 1990s, they had an unusually high magazine capacity - 17 rounds when 12 or 13 was average). That\\\'s her answer to people dodging bullets - throw so many at them they can\\\'t dodge them all.
Another factor added to the mix is acute peripheral vision, allowing the shooter to respond to threats over a much wider arc than normal. Again, BlackLagoon shows Revy (to whom we very politely raise our hats) has that.
Put it all together, I\\\'d say we\\\'re probably literally at one in a million people who have the potential to shoot like that.
