Apparently you can also queue up more than one shot. I didn't realise that.

Of course, it has the same problem that Transistor does, in that it 
tells you the hit probabilities *assuming nothing changes*. Then when 
stuff changes (e.g., the target ducks), you hit air. Thanks for that. :-P

Still, I discovered that if you cheerfully ignore the current quest and 
just wonder around at random, there are places you can go where you can 
kill raiders and steal their stuff, then laboriously trek home to sell 
it all. At one point, I managed to accumulate almost 500 caps. And then 
I repaired the sniper rifle... which added about 3 damage, but used up 
my entire income. So now I'm broke again. *sigh*

Also, the guy in charge of the water system wants me to find "scrap 
metal" for him. But I'm not sure exactly what that means... I would have 
thought it just means items made of metal. But apparently not.
