Not so close is an expression you can say, when you are about to make a decision
but someone tells you "not so close" or "not too soon" because they want you to
recheck the decision. or it can mean Watch out for possible danger..example I am
learning to parallel park for the first time. I am backing into the parking
space, my instructor could say, "not so close" which means I might hit the car
behind me if I do not look carefully. It could mean many things, but I need more
context!

@sanfransokyones Got it! Well first of all if it were you or me, and a bullet
came flying our way, we would probably shout, scream, panic. But in this context
they are soldiers/warriors. They are as cool as a cucumber! They train to keep
calm and cool during these incidents. So that is why he said NOT SO CLOSE. He is
showing he is brave and just responds to the soldier, Not So Close without
skipping a (heart) beat because he is a soldier! This would be a response with
someone with nerves of steal and knows this is part of his dangerous job, having
bullets flying around him.

That's exactly how it is translated. He chose to shorten the phrase, to express
the urgency of the feelings. Omitting some words can either make it sound
urgent, or becomes lost in translation. It's something that has to be learned
first hand. This app makes that easy.

I think the soldier is saying NOT SO CLOSE in terms of how close the bullet came
to him. IN other words, you can shoot close, but not THAT close! Again, he could
have heard the bullet close by or it grazed his head...by saying that phrase he
is saying "you can fire your bullet close to me, but any closer would've killed
me. It's a nicer way than saying, You (&^__#@! , you almost killed me! Just my
thoughts!

@bonjour1776: I think so,it's way too much to say that as far as I know about
English though. I'd better to get those all down what everyone said and it's
really nice time as learning English.Experience like this is I've never had :)
