That's actually representative though. If you just fire from the top of the key everytime and score consistantly each time, then this model works fine.

If you're getting a solid 25' with each of your shots though I'm gonna echo the others and suggest that you consider working as a resupply bot. Saves the issue of manual reloading, and makes you one valuable little pony for your team
