When you fire a bullet which intersects an enemy [[Wave]], you will know for certain that the enemy bullet is not in the wave section which was intersected. If it were in that section, then the two bullets would have collided and exploded. As the enemy wave travels outward, this safe region will trace out a region of the battle field as if your bullet cast a shadow of safety outward.
