She pulled out a gun and aimed/pointed it at him.
If she is standing two feet away from him, does it make one of 'aimed' and 'pointed' more appropriate to use than the other?
pointed is more natural.
"Aimed" means she looked through the sights at him. "Pointed" means she merely presented the muzzle to him.
