Imagine being in a field the size of 5 football fields, and you shoot a bullet across it. Then, someone on the right side of the field shot another bullet across. The odds of his bullet hitting your bullet are probably the same as a rocket hitting a satellite.

On top of that, he knows where your bullet is and can shoot it to avoid your bullet.
