Especially when it's a beam weapon with no recoil, and no adjustment
needed for wind or gravity and not much for movement - you certainly
wouldn't need to "lead" the target.  If the weapon in question has a
half decent sight on it (IOW, it points the same direction as the gun)
I have no problem with these results, either.  14 is a very competent
skill.
