Quaritch - Bad Gunman?

[Vauktu]

Quaritch, being the experienced marine he is, is actually ... a rather bad gunman, or so it appears.

The number of times we see Quaritch shoot a gun is three times. On each account, he misses.

1. The first time we see Quaritch test his aim is when Trudy, Jake, Grace, and Norm make their escape from Hell's Gate. As they escape, Quaritch charges out of the operation center by kicking open the door and pulling out his SN-9 WASP, where he then aims, shoots, and in an attempt which seems to be to bring down Trudy's samson, misses.
   
2. The second time Quaritch pulls out a gun is after Jake fails in his attempt to bring down the Dragon gunship during the last battle scene in the movie. As Jake tries again, Quaritch opens the top hatch of the Dragon and pulls out his WASP yet again, aims at Jake, but misses.
   
3. The third time Quaritch attempts to get a shot in, he is an AMP suit being attacked by thanator, one which Neytiri is riding during the last battle scene. During this scene, Quaritch does not get much time to aim, but, in a battle which seems to be favored towards Neytiri, he pulls up his GAU-90, aims, shoots, but misses as the thanator quickly jumps onto Quaritch's AMP, bringing it down to the ground, where the gun is shortly demolished afterward.

Of course, simply because Quaritch missed each shot in the movie doesn't necessarily mean he's a bad gunman. He might have been unlucky, or his gun may have been faulty. He may be able to redeem himself in the sequel, if he does happen to make a re-appearance.

While Quaritch's aim seems to be a little off, he does appear to be a pretty decent hand-to-hand fighter. After all, he did manage to defeat a thanator with the use of a knife while in his AMP, and he didn't miss when he drove a punch into Jake's face as Jake came out of the link pod.

Also, this brings to mind a scene in the movie which I remember very well:

Grace: "What are you going to do, Ranger Rick? Shoot me?"
Quaritch: "I can do that."
