Analysis

The table below shows post-processed shooting accuracy per tile of distance for each skill level and trait combination, assuming the pawn is healthy:

Skill Level	Standard	Careful Shooter	Trigger-Happy	Skill Level	Standard	Careful Shooter	Trigger-Happy
0	89%	94.5%	84%	-	-	-	-
1	91%	95%	85%	11	97.25%	98.333%	95%
2	93%	95.5%	86%	12	97.5%	98.5%	95.5%

5	94.5%	97%	89%	15	98.167%	99%	97%
6	95%	97.25%	91%	16	98.333%	99.125%	97.25%
7	95.5%	97.5%	93%	17	98.5%	99.25%	97.5%
8	96%	97.75%	93.5%	18	98.666%	99.313%	97.75%
9	96.5%	98%	94%	19	98.833%	99.375%	98%
10	97%	98.167%	94.5%	20	99%	99.438%	98.167%

Note that shooting accuracy for the pawn is calculated per tile, meaning that while a trivial increase (like 1% or so) in shooting accuracy may not matter up close, it can make a huge difference in long distances.

For example:

• A colonist with shooting accuracy of 99% has a base accuracy of 72.5% against a target 32 tiles away.
• With 98% accuracy, the base accuracy against the same target becomes only 52.4%.
