Something that bothered me.
Kenny at the end of In Harm's Way.
The scene of him shooting Carver in the knees to cripple him is undoubtedly awesome. But it makes no sense.
Kenny has just had one of his optical nerves crushed, and potentially has brain damage. He no longer has good depth perception either. Even if he can see, his vision would probably be impaired or blurry.
So how the fuck did he shoot both of carvers kneecaps out in a single shot each without aiming?
It makes no sense, and seemed to only have been added to make Kenny look like even more of a badass.
Anyone here with actual medical knowledge who could probably give us some insight?

Still, the damage looked pretty severe. Carlos was making it out like Kenny might have permanent brain damage due to the severity of the injuries. (then again, this is the doctor who couldn't tell the difference between the bite of a dog and a human)
Even if it didn't affect his brain, I'd imagine all that trauma would leave Kenny reeling and unable to see straight for at least a while, it just seems weird to me. They could have had any other character shoot Carver. Perhaps even Rebecca, she had more than enough reason.
"Kenny has just had one of his optical nerves crushed, and potentially has brain damage. He no longer has good depth perception either. Even if he can see, his vision would probably be impaired or blurry."
Kenny had his orbital crushed. Not his optic nerve. Your orbital is the bone around your eye, so it's reasonable that it would affect his eye.
He doesn't seem to have brain damage, as when he woke up he was able to walk and talk.
Losing an eye does not necessarily mean a complete loss of depth perception. in fact, many people who lost eyes have lost very little of their depth perception in the process.
"Even if he can see, his vision would probably be impaired or blurry."
Well, not exactly. you see, his left eye was the affected one. it's likely his right eye was his dominant eye, and it should be unimpaired.
It's actually quite probable he could shoot carver in the knees with only his right eye, as he killed Johnny and shot Carver in the shoulder by aiming down the sight of his rifle with only his right eye only.
Thanks for the insightful answer. Guess it's not too unreasonable after all.
