How big should an enemy be so that most shots from real players can land?

Guessing a target size gives either a game of constant misses or one where nobody can miss. This entry shows how to take the size from the aim errors of real players, including shots taken from very different distances.

Why this works

The same slip of the hand is a big miss from far away and a small one up close. Measuring the error as an angle, then choosing the size that lets the wanted share of shots land, gives a target that fits every distance.

When not to use it

Skip it for weapons that hit an area, home in on targets or snap to the nearest enemy. There aim barely matters, so tune the area or the strength of the snap instead.
