Well, she's a crack shot. When she has her eyes closed. And there's always the chance she might shoot someone who isn't the enemy, for lack of understanding.

Then again, the Early thing was on account of her in the first place.
Then again again, the caper on Ariel wouldn't have happened if Simon hadn't needed to get her into a hospital, and that was profitable.
