Basically what you're doing is greatly generalizing one example (shooting at someone's legs) while greatly emphasizing the other (shoot every bullet of many into the same hole yada yada).If you want to compare without bias, make sure you apply the same amount of emphasis or generalization to each other. So it would look something like:
Is it harder to shoot at a stationary target or a moving target?
Harder to shoot the head or the legs?
Harder to shoot every bullet in the same hole with different guns although you are under no pressure at all and shooting at stationary targets? Or to shoot at a superhuman who's about to pound your face within 2 seconds if you don't shoot his legs while his zig zagging his way to you and carrying an indestructible shield with which he has blocked every bullet ever shot his way?
Three things.
Cap always charged gunmen, he never zigzagged against a single gunmen. This would go against his character.
Second, Cap zigzagging would make it EASIER to hit his legs. Why? Because his lateral (not forward) speed has to decrease and become 0 before changing directions.
Third, it's still 10000x harder to shoot every bullet from every gun into the same hole (without calibration) than it is to hit the legs of someone moving 0-40mph.
P.S. You know it would take Cap at least a second or two to reach full speed right? He would be traveling 0mph then 5 mph then 10 mph then 15 mph then 20 mph within 2 seconds. It's called acceleration. One must increase their speed continuously from 0 to reach a desired speed.
