About

The word 枪击 is formed by directly combining two concepts: 枪 (qiāng), meaning "gun", and 击 (jī), meaning "to strike" or "to hit". It is a logical fusion where the first character specifies the tool or instrument, and the second character specifies the violent action performed with it. The mind naturally merges these ideas to create the single, compound concept of "gun-strike", which equates to the event or act of a shooting.
