Maybe there was symbolism around it. It just felt off to me.

Do five grams of fulminate of mercury cause the same level of carnage as a stick of dynamite? Is pure P2P crystal meth blue?
You can fill a prescription for pure methamphetamine at any pharmacy. It's called Desoxyn. Walt isn't some kind of meth wizard; any number of pharmaceutical grade factories can churn out product just as pure. Despite the breathless descriptions of his cooking, it really is just following a recipe within a controlled laboratory environment.
Why would anyone think that this show doesn't, and hasn't, taken extreme dramatic licenses already?
Yeah, it made little sense that a bunch of mechanics would miss from that distance, but it's far from the least likely occurrence on the show. Do you think someone is going to be able to fire an AA-12 with any accuracy from that distance?
They needed a cliffhanger, and since Danny Glover wasn't in the desert with a smoke grenade in his pocket to great a diversion for Riggs, they went with the next best alternative: inaccuracy at a standoff distance while being shot at.
