What’s the life expectancy of a little pointy-eared, leotarded person, anyway? Hasn’t he been doing this since he was like seven?

Perhaps the members of the Umbrella Security Service receive an extra week of training that the S.T.A.R.S. members don’t get. I assume this week covers super-advanced tactical maneuvers like… moving your feet while pulling a trigger. Or the USS “How to Survive a Zombie Apocalypse” field manual has a chapter that covers the fact all limbs can move independently of each other.
