Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Date a workaholic masseur, Jesse.

I may go once every two months, unless something urgent comes up. That's my 2005 plan.

Okay, question: when you shoot a gun, do your eyes blink automatically?

I ask because both Nadia and Syd blink when they fire.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Holy shitballs. 6 sessions for $125. I think I have to apply.

Also on Alias:

Jack Marshall, what soccer match is that.

Marshall: Sorry I'm not much of a sports fan, more of a scrabble club type. A boggle tournament, I'm dangerous.

Bahahah.

Blinking--closing the eyes just as the shot is fired--is the mildest form of flinching and the most common shooting fault. Action-movie directors love the "downrange camera" angle, focusing on the gun and the hero's face while a fast string of shots is being fired. Almost invariably the actor's eyes blink in exact time with the shots.

So, okay, it's a fault. Does that mean it shows that you are not a good marksman? that you would most likely miss the shots AFTER you fired?

Blinking imparts no movement to the gun, so it's possible to blink every time and still be a good shot

Thanks! I'm feeling all lazy for not following the link now.

It's okay. That happens.

Unless you can keep the eyes open and observe what's happening, it's very difficult to improve.

I love that line. I think that it's like the key to life.

So, even though top competitors do it, it's still a bad thing?
