  1. I think that is rather obvious from the literal translation alone. Especially with the context given and the subsequent elaboration. In this case, going with the literal translation gives us the same perspective someone receiving that threat for the first time may understand. Especially since in English, and especially America, the phrase "eat lead" with respect to bullets, is widely known. Thus, unlike many other literal translations, this idiom does indeed keep its meaning across languages.
