What is collective nouns for shots?

There isn't really a single "collective noun" for shots in the same way we might say "a flock of birds" or "a herd of elephants."

Here's why:

* Context is Key: The word "shot" can refer to many things (a photograph, a gunshot, a drink, etc.). The collective noun would depend on the specific context.

* Variety of Usage: We rarely need a collective noun for shots. For example, instead of saying "a volley of photographs," we'd likely just say "several photographs" or "many photographs."

However, here are some options depending on the type of "shot":

* Photographs: A series of photographs, a portfolio of photographs, a collection of photographs.

* Gunshots: A volley of gunshots, a burst of gunfire, a round of shots.

* Drinks: A round of shots, a flight of shots (especially if referring to different flavors), a lineup of shots (if referring to a bar menu).

Ultimately, the best way to describe a group of shots depends on the specific situation and what you want to emphasize.
