shot

[yuhan]

The shot was bang on target.
Does shot mean "a ball or "a bullet "?
Which case is more likely?
Thanks.

In what context, yuhan?

They could both be right.

Rover

I agree with Rover, but without any further context, I would guess a ball.

 

[yuhan]

No context, it's an example sentence in a dictionary.

The 'bang' gives no clue. If someone spits at you and hits you in the eye, the same term could be used. It's generic.
