Dodging bullets

[Langy]

What made dodge for avoiding bullets more workable for me was the 'can't dodge under 4 or 5 yars' rule... can't find it now though! Does anyone remember the reference?

Shouldn't it be easier to dodge a bullet fired from up close as opposed to a bullet fired a dozen or hundred yards away? From far away, a small alteration in trajectory results in a much larger change in where the bullet hits, which means a gunman can correct for you moving out of the way much easier than if you were up close.

Remember that if the gunman actually had you in his sights when he fired, it doesn't matter if he was five yards away or a hundred yards away - you're going to get hit, because bullets just travel that bloody fast.
