Not surprising since they literally made a game for recruiting in 2002. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/America%27s_Army

I remember struggling to get the minimum marksmanship to be able to play the game because the targets were red and the background was green/brown. I had to memorize the position and timing of all 30(?) targets.

Pretty realistic lol.

23/40 targets if it’s the same as the army qualification.
