For example, that scene where Guinan smoked Worf… FWIW in that scene (and similar,) I suspect it’s less about accuracy and more about reflex, timing the shots. Nobody actually misses, you’ll notice, but the ball things are changing color and moving rapidly, and Guinan only takes her shots when it’s yellow (?)
