maybe with alot of practice, but it doesnt even matter cause theres no headshots in duke3d, and the auto-aim does most of the work for you. like in the stadium level, if you use the pistol you can be a mile away and as long as someone is near your crosshair every shot will hit, so even though the pistol is weak, it has the best accuracy. theres alot of stratagy and tricks in duke3d, theres also warp glitches(but thats a whole other story). i cant stay alive more than 10 seconds in modern FPS's cause of the head shots and the movement is so slow i cant dodge anything and theres no armor pick-ups, its so dumbed down. duke3d has armor, med-kit, and atomic health, you can have epic battles
