My daughter and I have done several quintessential "pistols at ten paces" using Elite darts. There have been many times where no one was hit. Even after reloading and firing a second or third 6 shot volley.

On another occasion, a coworker set a teddy bear on a water cooler and challenged me to knock it off with my 12 DPS Auto-Stryfe. My only mistake was using Elite darts. I fired three 18 dart clips at that stupid bear and missed every time, from 20 feet.

So no, Elites are so random it's likely you'll NEVER hit your mark. My advice, get better darts.
