Haha having recently rewatched MIB with my daughter after ~15 years, I don't think Will Smith correctly selected the target... :'D

I think you very much missed the context of that scene.

The job is not "shoot aliens". It's manage aliens, including Earth's population of legal resident aliens (like the taxi driver who he delivers a baby for). The Big Bad of the film is indeed posing as a human, and Smith's character runs into an endless procession of innocent (or at least non-capital-crime) aliens he should not shoot along the way.

There's a reason he gets hired over all the military folks in the scene immediately blasting away at the aliens in the shooting range.

Yes, because he's Will Smith.
