Kill this thread because all it is is archers sitting there going "omg, I need x shots to kill" and infantry going "omg, you only need 1/2 shots to kill! Stop making it up".
Truth of the matter is, all I can see is both sets taking the worst case scenarios, the only times that they actually notice that something is "different", the average, i'm sure you'll find will be somewhere in between those two quotes. Nothing you can say can dispute the fact that people will always notice extremes more than the averages, if there is a change from the norm, be sure that it'll stick in the mind much longer than something that happens on a regular day.
You don't notice the new hair cut of a co-worker if they've just had it cut short, but you'd bloody well notice if they dyed it pink! That's all this thread has been for the last couple of pages and i'm sure you can all agree that the only way to get the truth is to get statistics from a credible source and from a large pool of data. No two ways about it.
Now quit whinging and go play! D:
