Why is it “shoot”?

Why do we shoot photos? Why is it, “that’s a great shot”? Is there anything in photography related to weapons? It’s so ingrained this language of violence. Not only in photography. I use “capture” and “frame.” Really looking for a few more alternatives. Anyone?

I don’t want to “shoot” these anymore than my own foot!
