I prefer the sniper's motto
"One shot. One kill."*
There's another good one: "Don't bother trying to run. You'll only die tired."
That "pickup" reminds me of the commercial that shows people driving earth moving and road construction equipment, asking "How big is too big?"
*I've seen a statistic from the Vietnam war that claimed over 20,000 bullets were fired by ordinary military troops for every enemy killed. The sniper average was 1.3 bullets per kill.
