[ He's a quicker shot than Steve, he notices, and it's hardly aimless shooting either, hitting it at its center - bullseye. For this reason, Steve thinks the other man must be the better shooter of the two of them. And with its eyes being smaller than its mouth, he thinks they'd be harder to aim for. ]
I'll go for the mouth. [ He hopes the stranger doesn't think he's taking the easy route out of laziness, he simply thinks the other man is more likely to shoots its eyes than he is. Hopefully he'll consider it a compliment to his shooting skills.
He takes a shot at the serpent's head, which causes it to screech and go back underwater for cover, but Steve imagines it'll come back up within seconds. ]
[ Ocelot's not going to be fretting too much over aiming for the time being, so long as they actually manage to get the job done. still, when the serpent comes back up for a moment, he does manage to fire a shot off again at one of its eyes.

Before waking up on this planet, definitely not. The strangest thing I'd ever seen was a man who could shoot electricity out his hands.

Here? I'd say these are a little better than the giant spiders.

I can see why you'd be nice to him. [ He's never been electrocuted before but he can't imagine it's a nice feeling. ]
Big and intelligent. [ Two things nobody wants spiders to be. ] Delightful.

They don't let up, do they? The giant spiders were easier to take down than this.

An ability like that in the wrong hands... [ Steve could only imagine how much damage it could cause if the person used it with bad intentions. ]
