If the movie physics allows the ricochet (instead of absorbing the bullet or shattering it upon impact) then many humans can achieve the feat in under a million tries. Simple geometry and trial and error.
The point is that the margin of error is much larger in Dex feat than DS. Think of a bank shot in pool. There are many different angles to still make the pocket. Or the margin of error (angle differential) is significantly large enough to still make the pocket.

Again, prove many humans can replicate the feat.

So you're saying that a human given a million tries can CONSECUTIVELY hit a moving target via ricocheting off an opposite building towards an upper floor?
Prove it.

Point out where in your original claim you mention movie physics, otherwise it's you that is moving the goalposts.
The argument is about whether a human can replicate the accuracy of the feat (not the physics) after a million tries.
The physics of the bullets has absolutely nothing to do with the the accuracy of the feat.
With that said, Dex could win this if the cover is good enough.
Hawkeye has great stealth skills but I don’t thinks he’s as accurate as the other two with a gun.
Dex is my vote.

So what you're saying is that they don't to be able to repeat the feat, they just need to be able to do it once. Correct?
In other words, all you want them to do is make one lucky shot.
In similar fashion, I assume you only need a person to shoot the exact same bullet hole they did once in a million tries so we can claim they can replicate DS's feats. Correct?

First, do you disagree that there is at least one human that can pull of the accuracy of the ricochet feat in under a million tries?
In other words, if the bullets behaves as it did in the show (bounces off) and one only needs accuracy then it can be achieved in under a million tries?
