That was what Ace did in the movie, but not something I believe the real
John Wesley would have even tried.  He simply shot the card which in and of
itself, should be fairly impressive.

I would say the cards negate penalties for called shots with the taint that
the holder gains the reputation, gunfighter.  Refer to the film, "They call
me Nobody," for a good look at the disadvantages of this rep.

"You smell that? Do you smell that? ...Ghost Rock, son. Nothing else in the
world smells like that. I love the smell of ghost rock in the morning. You
know, one time we had a hill bombed, for twelve hours. When it was all over
I walked up. We didn't find one of 'em, not one stinkin' Yank body. The
smell, you know that sulphurous smell, the whole hill. Smelled like...
victory. Someday this war's gonna end..."
