I can do that and there's no way I'm using anything other than default from a not so nice Dexterity score.
And yet if you were firing a pistol you would not hit if you were an average person, There are a lot of statistics on gunfights where the opponents are firing at each other at short ranges. In vast majority of them the vast majority of the shots miss, despite being at an average distance of less that 7 yards(-3 in GURPS terms).

A good example of how hard it is is found on pages 3-5 of:
