SHOT
s. The act of shooting teli jactus or conjectus (of a weapon as discharged): ictus (of a weapon as having hit the mark): *sclopeti or tormenti fragor (in as far as it caused a report). To fire a shot *telum e sclopeto emittere (but by no means sclopetum displodere or explodere); *tormentum mittere or emittere.
That which is discharged (in the sense of the ancients) telum (thrown either with the hand or by a machine): sagitta (an arrow: ☞ spiculum is poetical only): plur. tela missilia and missilia simply (but emissicia ☞ Cic. De Legg. 3 9 20 is a doubtful reading): globus (any round mass; e.g. of lead thrown by a sling): glans (a ball of clay or lead which was made hot and thrown by a sling; Vid: commentators on Caes. B.G. 5 43; hence a proper expression for our “musket-ball;” also telum will suit for the latter three; compare FIRE): *telum tormento missum (after Caes. B.G. 3 51 extr.): *globus tormento missus (after the preceding passage): *grando plumbea (small shot): *globus ferro secto et pulvere pyrio completus (grape shot).
Reach of missives teli conjectus. To come within shot ad teli conjectum venire: to fight within shot eminus pugnare (opposed to cominus pugnare).
