Explanation:
Mais uma hipótese ;)

Example sentence(s):
  • Bang! Bull's eye! One dead Jap. We got some help from our tanks, artillery, Marine close air support and those big Navy guns also
  • Bang! Bull's-eye for Claude. Claude took out his board game and invited George and Kerry to play with him, and soon the house was filled with their laughter
