Are you going to add other starting weapons, that might be a nice addition for players not looking for a "high" skill experience?
I get your point but I think it should get harder as you play and not be hard from the start. If the dev whants to keep it that way a change might be to have an indicator when the shot fires so you know when to turn.
It might be just me being dumb but only being able to shoot in your walking direction is not a fun machanic.
