Nobody said anything about sustained fire. The idea is to take on the shot, and make it fail, and if it hits, then the idea is to get the thing home instead of becoming a flaming lawn dart in someones backyard! That is the idea. The enemy will always get a lucky shot off on occasion. What you want is for that lucky shot to have minimal effect. That is the idea.
