Answer: (C)

A bullet pass is a fast, straight-line throw with minimal arc that zips to the target. The idea is to deliver the disc quickly through a narrow window, so the flight is direct and low in time spent in the air, making it harder for defenders to react. It’s most useful for short to mid-range completions when the receiver is ready for an immediate throw-and-catch rather than waiting for a longer, more floated pass. To execute it well, you snap the wrist and release with a firm, clean forearm rotation so the disc stays level and travels straight toward the receiver. Because it relies on speed and precision, any small error in aim or release can cause the disc to sail or miss the target, so timing and grip matter. This is different from other passes that use more arc or float, such as ground-skimming blades or passes with a higher arch, and it isn’t about throwing to a different direction like a break throw.
