Shielding Success Rates Mystery

When I experimented with bullet shielding, my bot calculated minimum and maximum angles which would hit an incoming bullet, and only shoot if the difference between angles was above a threshold. It was there to work around floating point calculation errors, which translate into "parallel" bullets.

If the difference is below the threshold, then moving sideways helps increase the difference. Near 100% bullet shield against TrackFire. But against moving opponents and/or weak powered bullets, sometimes my bot moved until it crashed on the wall, never finding a good angle to shoot. And this is where I my experiments are stuck right now.
