Anything the enemy flew or floated was his target.

One of Greg's bombs hung up, and he was miles from the target before he could get rid of it.

The bobbing head was a poor target, so Matsuo shot him in the upper trunk.

An aggressor would use an agent against which there was a minimal naturally acquired or artificially induced immunity in a target population.

The target was Allied shipping -- a desperate effort to stave off the Allied invasion of Europe.

George Wittkowsky argued that Swift ’ s main target in A Modest Proposal was not the conditions in Ireland, but rather the can-do spirit of the times that led people to devise a number of illogical schemes that would purportedly solve social and economic ills.

In response to a neighbor's complaint that his target shooting endangered her children, he replied, " If that should ever happen, ma-da-me, we should ourselves be happy to get new ones with you " ( though he was not at all inclined to engage with females in the manner implied ).

The decision to target the Apollo 16 lunar landing for the highlands region of the Moon was made to obtain samples of the Descartes Formation and the Cayley Formation.

It was ultimately decided to target the Apollo 16 mission to the Descartes site.

It was announced early in 1983 with a fall introduction at the target price of $ 500 for plug-in AppleNet cards for the Lisa and the Apple II.

The intended target was not Ethernet, and it did not have 48-bit addresses to route.

In predicted fire the basic geospatial data of range, angle of sight and azimuth between a fire unit and its target was produced and corrected for variations from the ' standard conditions '.

Another target was Senator Ted Kennedy, parodied as " Senator O. Noble McGesture ," resident of " Hyideelsport.

The limitations of beam-riding guidance ( which was slaved to an optical sight on single seater fighters and a radar with night fighters ) restricted the missile to attacks against targets flying a straight course and made it essentially useless against a maneuvering target.

) The F-4 pilot launched the missile and then saw that the target was the B-52, which was hit.

One characteristic of the Missileer ancestry was that the radar sent it mid-course corrections, which allowed the fire control system to " loft " the missile up over the target into thinner air where it had better range.

Regulatory Arbitrage was used for the first time in 2005 when it was applied by Scott V. Simpson, a partner at law firm Skadden, Arps, to refer to a new defence tactic in hostile mergers and acquisitions where differing takeover regimes in deals involving multi-jurisdictions are exploited to the advantage of a target company under threat.

But it was not a secret that Bulgaria's target was the fulfilment of the never materialized Treaty of San Stefano signed after the Russo-Turkish War, 1877 – 78.

This target was irradiated with 35 MeV alpha particles for 6 hours in the 60-inch cyclotron at the Lawrence Radiation Laboratory, University of California, Berkeley.

The Herald American was printed in broadsheet format, and failed to target a particular readership ; where the Record American had been a typical city tabloid, the Herald Traveler was a Republican paper.

Strutt ( Sports and Pastimes ) suggests that the first player's bowl may have been regarded by the second player as a species of jack ; but in that case it is not clear what was the first player's target.

A trained marksman shooting five rounds at a target, all under practically the same conditions, may hit the bull's-eye from 0 to 5 times.

The target is the Erla factory one kilometer from the residential area hit.

However, the need to engage targets at night, in depth or hit the target with the first rounds quickly led to predicted fire being developed in World War I.

The prey or target is visible but hard to hit.

Full-automatic fire was also considered a desirable feature, allowing the soldier to fire short bursts of three to five rounds, increasing the probability of a hit on a moving target.

While firing a higher quantity of smaller bullets makes it easier to hit a target ( and is therefore good for beginner marksmen ), it offers very little to more advanced marksmen.

In military usage, a gun is a cannon with a high muzzle velocity and a flat trajectory, useful for hitting the sides of targets such as walls, as opposed to howitzers or mortars, which have lower muzzle velocities, and fire indirectly, lobbing shells up and over obstacles to hit the target from above.

For example, even if all arrows hit the same point, yet grossly miss the target, the MSE is still relatively large.

Finally, note that even if all arrows grossly miss the target, if they nevertheless all hit the same point, the variance is zero.

Additionally, they learn that even when firing at a valid target, unintended targets may still be hit, for three reasons:

* The bullet may miss the intended target and hit a non-target around or beyond the target.

* A non-target may pass in front of the target and be hit with a bullet aimed at the target.

* The bullet may pass through the intended target and hit a non-target beyond it, so called " overpenetration ".

Target practice increases the precision with which the handler can discharge the firearm and thus increase the chances that the intended target is hit.

Education about terminal ballistics gives the handler knowledge about the characteristics of a bullet after a target is hit.

Tureaud was once anonymously offered $ 75, 000 to assassinate a target and received in the mail a file of the hit and an advance of $ 5, 000, but he refused it.

Lacking guidance systems, such rockets had to be carefully aimed at relatively close range to successfully hit the target.

As the cooling system was almost invariably placed where direct fire wouldn't hit them, the target of choice was the rear deck of a tank ; the burning contents of the bottle would pour through the large cooling grills and ignite fuel, hydraulic fluids and ammunition.

MANPADS are capable of actively tracking the target as opposed to flying in a ballistic trajectory as the unguided RPG-missiles do ; allowing kills at high altitude ( which are too far to be hit by an unguided projectile ).

The next line, which Vauban usually placed at about 600 meters from the target, would contain the main batteries of heavy cannons so that they could hit the target without being vulnerable themselves.

By first producing a radioactive beam by an ISOL method and then re-accelerating it to make it hit a secondary thin target, very exotic nuclei can be produced.
