Lesson 177: Choosing the right translation -- Which shot?

In celebration of the tetanus vaccination I received this weekend, I wanted to know how to say the word 'shot' in Italian. Of course, the word 'shot' in English can have several connotations, so I thought a lesson on highlighting the differences might be in order:

• l'iniezione (f.): this refers to an injection, or a 'shot', that one would receive at the doctor's office or hospital
  
  Il cane del vicino mi ha morso, e poi sono andato dal medico per un'iniezione.
  The neighbor's dog bit me, and then I went to the doctor for a shot.
  
  
• il colpo: refers to a shot from a gun
  
  Ho sentito due colpi e poi silenzio.
  I heard two shots and then silence.
  
  
• il colpo: can also refer to a shot in sports, too
  
  'Bel colpo!' ha gridato l'allenatore.
  'Great shot!' the trainer shouted.
  
  
• la congettura: referring to a guess or a conjecture
  
  La sua congettura era sbagliata. Il maggiordomo era innocente.
  Her shot was wrong. The butler was innocent.
  
  
• la foto: referring to a photo
  
  Le foto di mio fratello sono nella rivista, National Geographic.
  My brother's shots are in the magazine, National Geographic.
  
  
• il sorso: refers to a shot of liquor
  
  un sorso di vodka
  un sorso di whiskey
  
  
• la probabilità: refers to a shot that one might experience in a game of chance
  
  È una probabilità su due che il mio cavallo vince!
  It's a 2 to 1 shot that my horse wins.
  
  
• la ripresa: a cinematic shot, a kind of shot relating to the movies and cinema
  
  Le riprese di Roma erano bellissime e hanno descritto in maniera appropriata i caratteri dei personaggi.
  The shots of Rome were beautiful and described appropriately the nature of the characters..
