Definition
百发百中 is a chengyu (four-character idiom) that literally means 'a hundred shots, a hundred hits' — it describes shooting with perfect accuracy, hitting the target every time. You can use it figuratively for any situation where someone achieves 100% success or makes spot-on predictions. It emphasizes reliability and precision, not just occasional luck.
