yes to the first question, and 'i didnt try' to the second one. of course, i cant swear to the range i was at. so in hind sight, the success may have been dependant on my range. it would be worth trying at various ranges, but i CAN tell you that sometimes the first hit at a range would not work but the second or third one would.

to be honest, i have been so put off by the ineffectiveness of psychic techs compared to their research costs, that i have not fooled with them in a long time.
