No, Angelica. The examples are NOT confusing. Thank you for taking the time to think them up and to write all of them.

I guess I just have to mentally say "a quién" when using the verb "disparar" and not just "quién."

I shouldn't tell on myself, but I struggle with direct and indirect objects to the point that I many times shy away from speaking to someone in the Usted form because I'm unclear if I should use "Lo," "La," or "Le" when needing to say "You" in the sentence. When speaking in the familiar form, I know I can just use "Te" and be correct. (Yes, I am familiar with "leísmo," so I'm sure to question why "Le" was used when I see it written.)

I'll eventually get it because when I hear or see "Lo," "La," or "Le" written, I pay special attention to it so I can imitate it when I speak; and more importantly, I know I can turn to this forum and get any further doubts cleared up.
