That just brought to mind a really scary possibility for hero-type characters: one silhouette behind another, like in the classic TV hostage situation. Given the essential randomness of gunshots in this game if you fail your to-hit roll, there's a very real possibility AT ALL TIMES that you could hit the hostage, no matter how good you are! Makes that movie cop trick of shooting the hostage-taker in the head a little less appealing, huh? Makes me think, also, that overlapping silhouettes might not be a bad thing in practice.
