Howd'ya shoot yourself in the foot in Icon?

    You think your are going to shoot your foot, but automatic type
    conversion suddenly kicks in, and you find yourself aiming at a
    bull's eye.  You shoot the bull's eye until the it completely
    disintegrates.  Backtracking then kicks in, finds the other foot,
    shoots it, and then reports your efforts as a failure.
