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.

Not being able to hit a fairly easy target, even with continuous fire from a machine gun, is pretty much a TV show and movie staple. Amazing how the bullets hit the ground, a railing, or any other number of things surrounding the guy being shot at. And no matter what the target is standing behind, it is always strong enough to stop a bullet.
