"Target" based spells such as charm person and magic missile allows you to select a target without a chance to accidentally select the incorrect target. That is another reason why magic missile will never hit an image by accident.
The mirror image spell also assumes you are always aiming for the caster. This was discussed in detail in another thread. In short you can never really aim for an image, barring house rules.
RAW...Magic Missle does not do that.
I have an unconscious cat and Cast Silent Image right next to it. Magic missle in no way allows you to auto-hit the real cat to finish it off. It only allows you to auto-hit your intended target, be it the real cat or the fake cat thats up to the random die-roll.
Also for all purposes, silent image is basically a weak version of mirror image. Both spells are figmental as well.
