Kill Box

A kill box is 'Where you go to die'.
It means that it is in the middle of all the action (usually where the cross fire) takes place and you would be unlucky to be caught in such an area.
This applies in real life and in video games.

"This is NOT where you want to be Tony!
This area is the Kill Box!"
