"Confirmation" crosshair/circle

I've read this 10 times and it still looks like the 1st sentence is a 100% contradiction of the last sentence. Admittedly my reading comprehension skills are perfect, so I need someone to explain this to me.

He's saying that the reason the orange circle was needed was because we couldn't otherwise tell that we'd hit our targets, but if there was some confirmation of a hit in the form of blood spatter/vehicle sparks, then a confirmation circle wouldn't be needed.

Personally, I imagine it'd look a little silly seeing blood spatter for every bullet shot.
