"My DI beat it into our heads that we fire our rifles and shoot at targets."
Same with my drill sergeants in regards to "rifles" or "weapons." But we "fired" at targets, too. Something was shot, only if it was hit or destroyed. It still seems funny to me, when someone says that they "shoot" their "gun."

Well, I was USAF. Technically, we drop ordnance, but just called it bombing.
