#1 Has their aim really improved that much or did they hit the VP's office by accident? Typically they've found it hard to just hit the IZ. They haven't had the luxury of being able to watch for where the first round hit, adjusting their aim, & repeating until they were lined up, and then firing a bunch - because by the second or third shot their position would be detected and they'd have to be running or dying.

Likely somebody did recon and came up with a firing solution. I suspect that there were quite a few targets marked in advance.
