There are people with impossibly good aim. And then there are people with impossibly bad aim. Some people have such atrocious aim that it becomes a joke that the safest place to be when they're shooting is where they're aiming at. Indeed, their projectiles (and these are by no means limited to bullets) may break the laws of physics to show how horrible their aim is. To qualify for this trope, a specific character's lousy aim needs to be called out at least once and probably Played for Laughs. Doesn't necessarily need to be with a weapon. Compare Imperial Stormtrooper Marksmanship Academy, when mooks contractually can't hit the hero except when Rule of Drama intervenes (because if they did, the story would be over), and A-Team Firing, when shootouts go on at length without anybody being hit. If the atrocious aiming somehow saves the day, then it overlaps with Saved by a Terrible Performance. Will often result in an Epic Fail. Contrast Accidental Aiming Skills. |

Furry Experience: On page 37, Cat looses a barrage of snowballs at Ronnie, none of which even graze the target. It's revealed that, during girls' gym class, Cat paid no attention to lessons on how to throw. She gets a treeful of snow dumped on her as a penalty. | |

In Reaper Man, Bill Door is so bad at darts that he bounces the darts everywhere, including in another man's drink. In actuality, Bill Door has perfect aim; he just realized that being bad at pub games helps him make friends. | |

In Girls und Panzer, Momo Kawashima, treasurer of the student council, serves as the gunner in Turtle Team's tank, since Anzu Kadotani, the Student Council President and commander of the tank, can't be bothered to do it. Momo thus ends up missing virtually every shot she tries to take, no matter the distance(for example, she ends up shooting between St. Gloriana's four remaining tanks at point blank range), prompting vice-president Yuzu Koyama to quip, "Momo-chan, you missed." Eventually, Anzu replaces Momo, with much better results. | |

Looney Tunes: In "Daffy Duck and Egghead", Egghead tries to shoot Daffy, with Daffy teasing him by putting an apple over his head a la William Tell. However, Egghead misses every single shot, even as Daffy steps closer with each shot. When Egghead misses at point-blank range, Daffy puts sunglasses on him, hangs a sign that reads "blind" around his neck, hands him some pencils to sell, and walks away sighing, "Too bad." | |

Mailed Fist: John Foley and his tank crew have escaped death in a blazing tank only to find themselves cornered by a British retreat and a corresponding German advance. Foley, a junior officer who has won pistol shooting competitions, runs into a German infantry section trying to get a machine gun into position. He tries to get them with his sidearm from possibly ten yards away... and misses. Fortunately, the Germans are scared enough by being shot at to drop the MG and run away. Foley then reflects that there's a world of difference between firing at paper targets on the range, and doing it for real. Mortifyingly, his crew then nickname him "Deadshot Dick" and reassure him not to worry as he is not the one in charge of shooting the tank's gun. | |

Doraemon: Nobita and the Galaxy Super-express: Doraemon and Nobita partake in a shooting contest on the Planet of Cowboys, alongside Nobita's new rivals, Ashton and his lackeys, Don and Jane, the challenge being to hit a minimum of two out of six targets using six bullets. While Doraemon, Nobita and Ashton both pass the challenge, Don scores no hits at all, while Jane accidentally hits the shooting range's referee with her first shot, leading to him angrily disqualifying her. | |

She laughs that he can't be that terrible, and tells him to shoot a nearby fence post. He then proceeds to riddle every post with bullets except from the intended target. | |

Modesty Blaise: Willie Garvin has such bad aim with handguns that someone once says of him that if he shot at the ground he'd miss. However, he is uncannily good with throwing knives. (In one story, he finds himself facing a mook with only a handgun for a weapon, and opts to throw it at the mook rather than risk trying to shoot it.) | |

Doonesbury: One strip has Uncle Duke meet with an NRA official in Duke's bar. Duke shows him the handgun he carries with him, and it discharges while pointed at the man's stomach. The official Screams Like a Little Girl, but is unhurt. "Relax," says Duke. "It's Italian-made. Not accurate past six inches." Off-panel, someone else in the bar falls over with a thud. | |

Transformers: Generation 1: The aptly-named Decepticon Misfire is the absolute worst shot in the Decepticon ranks, having flunked out of their military academy more than four thousand times and was only able to graduate on a technicality because the academy was destroyed in an Autobot attack. His Targetmaster partner, Aimless, is just as bad. Whenever these two are on the battlefield, their comrades try harder to avoid their line of fire than they do with the Autobots'. The 2005 IDW Publishing comics portray the Autobot metallurgist Swerve as being an atrocious shooter. When a berserk Fortress Maximus takes the psychologist Rung and Whirl hostage, Swerve happens to be in a position to take a shot to disable Maximus and buy time for a breaching team to break into the room. He not only misses Maximus completely, he instead manages to near-fatally shoot Rung in the head despite Maximus being almost five times larger than Rung. Later in the series, Brainstorm creates a special gun for him named "My Little Blaster", which is programmed to offer him encouragement whenever he misses and praise whenever he actually hits something. |

A Million Ways to Die in the West: Stark is so bad at shooting that he can't hit a beer bottle even when he's standing close enough to just swat it off the fence in frustration after wasting all of his ammo. He eventually becomes just good enough at the climax to hit Clinch Leatherwood (or being more specific, just nick him in the arm), but knowing that he'll never be any good he decided to lace his bullets with rattlesnake venom. | |

Star Wars: The Old Republic: A cutscene in the Imperial Agent storyline on Taris has a scientist that Cipher Nine is looking for take several blaster shots at them at about ten paces. She misses every single one — by her own admission she barely knows which end of the gun to hold — but as a Funny Background Event, one shot blows apart a droid on the other side of the room, of the same type Cipher Nine was fighting to reach her only minutes earlier. | |

Lucky Luke: One story has the titular hero training a wannabe crimefighter, who's such a lousy shot that even standing directly behind him is not a guarantee of safety. "The Rivals of Painful Gulch" has Luke dealing with two Feuding Families, who will fire without warning at their rivals, or anyone they think is associated with their rivals. Unfortunately, their extremely bad aim makes them a danger to any bystanders rather than the actual target. At one point Luke tries to negotiate with them and they chase him off, with Luke himself admitting that he only survived the encounter because they are such lousy shots. |

Konosuba: Lalatina Dustiness "Darkness" Ford falls victim to this with a sword of all things on account of living in an RPG Mechanics 'Verse which requires people to get the relevant skill (i.e. the two-handed sword skill) to be able to use the weapon with any degree of accuracy. It's not a case of Never Bring a Knife to a Fist Fight, because she doesn't often get disarmed, she just can't ever hit anything due to pouring all her XP into her defense stat and never picking up the two-handed sword skill. This results in her being Unskilled, but Strong, meaning that Darkness' sky-high strength is usually meaningless, so her only use to the main party is as a Stone Wall, partly because she's Made of Iron, and partly because she's Too Kinky to Torture. | |

Red vs. Blue: Church's aim is so terrible that he can't even hit a stationary target. One instance from season 6, episode 15 has him somehow empty an entire pistol clip at a guard standing two feet away and miss every single shot. Possibly justified, as Church is actually an AI based on a man who was not considered skilled enough to join the frontlines of the UNSC. | |

What a Girl Wants: Lady Jocelyn Dashwood has such poor aim when clay pigeon shooting that she ends up taking the head off a statue, the top off a birdhouse, and would have taken a cat off a tree branch if the animal hadn't possessed quick reflexes. Her granddaughter Daphne might have better aim (not clearly shown) but is obviously not used to the recoil of the gun and lands flat on her back (to the amusement of them both). | |

Malcolm in the Middle: The episode "Bowling" has the dual stories of the family at bowling night. In Lois's version, Malcolm fails to get a single strike, even with a lighter ball. Frustrated by Lois's vain attempts to motivate him, Malcolm walks down the lane, stops short of the pins, yells at Lois that "here's your stupid strike", and heaves the ball at the pins. He misses every single pin, despite being two feet away from them. The entire bowling alley laughs at Malcolm's terrible aim. | |

The DCU: There's a minor villain called Mr. Terrible, who is an Evil Counterpart to Mr. Terrific. While Mr. Terrific represents the pinnacle of human perfection and is incredibly skilled at any activity you can imagine, Mr. Terrible is the exact opposite. Everything he tries to do turns out bad. Case in point: In one issue of Villains United, he attempts to kill someone by throwing a knife at them. He was aiming for the head — it hit them in the leg. | |

Fate/Grand Order: Nagao Kagetora can't hit anything with a ranged weapon, which is why she eschews any kind of bow or gun in favor of becoming a Multi-Melee Master. The Divine Spirit turned Pseudo-Servant Tezcatlipoca might have developed a love for modern firearms, but he absolutely sucks at hitting what he's aiming for. In his First Ascension, for one of his attacks he unloads an entire clip from his gun at a target only to hit them just once before he rushes them and strikes with the axe part of his weapon. In-story, he manages to shoot someone in the heart when he was aiming for their head, and then deliberately aims for their heart so that his next shot nails them in the head. |

On the other hand, her aim with any kind of firearm is horrendous, to the point it's almost a Running Gag. In chapter 13 Bianchi is trying to gun down Adult Lambo and Reborn remarks that the bullets could end up flying anywhere. This is in sharp contrast to her brother, who fights by throwing explosives at people with a surprising level of skill, accuracy and strategy. | |

Le Donjon de Naheulbeuk: The Elf's ineptitude with her bow is a constant Running Gag of the series. While she may hit something with her arrows, it is very rarely something she was aiming at. One time, she accidentally shoots the Ranger's leg and he assumes the troll they were fighting was what shot him, even though the troll didn't have a bow. In another instance, she shoots one of the dwarves the party was rescuing from a squad of orcs; at least they can blame the orcs on this one, thanks to the Enchantress silencing the Elf in time. | |

Top Gear: The Winter Olympics episode has a moment where the hosts are tasked with participating in a marksmanship challenge. Jeremy decides to bring a military-grade machine gun, which prompts Richard to comment that Jeremy's aim is so bad that the safest place to be when he has a gun is directly in front of him. Sure enough, Jeremy empties every round he has and doesn't hit a single target; he somehow manages to instead fell a tree that was directly behind one of the targets. | |

In the Prince Roger series, Erkum Pol can usually hit what he shoots at if it's within five meters. Beyond that, he not only can't hit anything, but is unable to admit to his poor marksmanship. For extra hilarity, Pol is big for a Mardukian (who normally stand 3 meters tall) and he prefers to shoot a BFG of the sort normally intended as a vehicle-mounted weapon. | |

In Hellsing, the Major has an utterly atrocious aim, failing to hit a target that's mere feet away and walking towards him. The Doctor wonders how he managed to get as far as he did in the Nazi forces with such a disadvantage. In the end, however, he manages to score a hit with his last bullet, causing him to cheer at his final victory. | |
