Exactly. The default is DX-4, but with the +4 to hit an area (Exploits, p. 45), he'd use his full and fairly decent DX of 13. And as a big Concussion would be his only Concussion (he isn't energy-rich) – and as he isn't in a hurry to fight – he'd take the time to Aim and add Acc (+1), and perhaps +2 more for extra Aim (Exploits, p. 29). Obviously, if he added Energy Reserve, higher Concussion skill, etc. later on, he'd want to learn Innate Attack.

Actually, it comes from the name of a guy I know IRL. :)
