Still confused.

EITHER
------------------------------------------------------------

// LASER BEAM: SPEED OF LIGHT

#declare laserhit=trace(Duck, LaserAim, LaserPosition, Norm);

#if( Norm.x!=0&Norm.y!=0&Norm.z!=0)   //syntax may be a bit off
         #declare DeadYet=1;
#end

---------------------------------------------------

 //        OR SHOOT A BUNCH OF BULLETS

#declare Bulletposition=Bulletposition+0.1*Bulletveloc;
#declare Bulletveloc=Bulletveloc-0.1*y;

#if(DeadYet>0.5)
    #declare TimeoDeath=TimeoDeath+1;
#else
    #if(vlength (DuckPostion-Bulletposition)<ContactDistance)  // ala Greg
        #declare DeadYet=1;
    #end
#end
