mergeto Enfilade and defilade discuss Talk Plunging fire Merger proposal date May 2010 Unreferenced date August 2008 Plunging fire is gunfire directed upon an enemy from an elevated position or gunfire aimed so as to fall on an enemy from above. In naval warfare plunging fire was often used to penetrate an enemy ship s thinner deck armor rather than firing directly at an enemy ship s side. Another method is in a form of indirect fire , by aiming the weapon, usually a machine gun or belt fed grenade launcher, at such a degree that it is pointed over an elevated obstacle such as a hill that it may nearly graze it. The impact zone will be just that of the opposite side. The trajectory of the rounds will take effect and plunge greatly after travelling the determined range in which the rounds will be falling from directly above vice from the front, increasing the chances of striking an advancing force in the cone of fire when no other technique becomes effective. The Howitzer Cannon uses this kind of gunfire.

Killer Junior and Killer Senior were techniques of employing artillery direct fire air burst s, first developed during the Vietnam War . The technique involves a howitzer or gun firing a high explosive HE shell fuzed with a mechanical time super quick MTSQ artillery fuse set to function causing an airburst over a target in very close proximity to the gun s position. Set properly, the shell would detonate approximately 10 meters 30 feet above the ground at ranges of 200 to 1000 meters. The term Killer Junior was applied to this technique when used with 105mm or 155mm howitzers, and the term Killer Senior applied to its use with the M115 203 mm howitzer M115 203mm 8 inch howitzer . The term Killer came from the call sign of the battery artillery battery which developed the technique. The technique was later perfected by Lieutenant Colonel Robert Dean, commander of the 1st Battalion, 8th Field Artillery , of the 25th Infantry Division United States 25th Infantry Division Artillery. Killers Junior and Senior were developed as alternatives to the Beehive ammunition beehive flechette rounds previously used against nearby enemy troops. The advantage of Killer Junior over beehive was that the airburst projected in all directions, and was able to wound enemy crawling or lying in enfilade and defilade defilade , whereas a flechette would simply fly over a low target.

Unreferenced stub auto yes date December 2009 File Poursuivante.jpg thumb French frigate French frigate Poursuivante 1798 Poursuivante firing raking fire on the British ship of the line French ship Hercule 1798 Hercule . In naval warfare , raking fire is fire directed parallel to the long axis of an enemy ship . Although each shot is directed against a smaller target profile than by shooting broadside and thus more likely to miss the target ship to one side or the other, an individual cannon shot that hits will pass through more of the ship, thereby increasing damage to the hull ship hull , sail s, and crew . A stern rake is more damaging than a Bow ship bow rake because the shots are not deflected by the curved and strengthened bow. The effectiveness of this tactic was demonstrated at the Battle of Trafalgar . Admiral Horatio Nelson, 1st Viscount Nelson Nelson s HMS Victory HMS Victory , leading the weather column of the British fleet, broke the French line just astern of the French flagship French ship Bucentaure 1804 Bucentaure , and just ahead of French ship Redoutable 1791 Redoutable . Victory raked the Bucentaure s less protected stern killing 197 and wounding a further 85, including the Bucentaure s captain, Jean Jacques Magendie Magendie . Admiral Pierre Charles Villeneuve Villeneuve was lucky to survive, and although he was not captured for three hours, the raking put Bucentaure out of the fight.

Unreferenced date August 2008 The field of fire of a weapon or group of weapons is the area around it that it can easily and effectively reach by gunfire. The term field of fire is mostly used in reference to machine gun s. Their fields of fire incorporate the beaten zone. The Beaten Zone is a concept in indirect infantry small arms fire, specifically machine guns. It describes the area between the first catch and the last graze of a bullet s trajectory. At the first of these points, a bullet will hit a standing man in the head, at the last of these points, as the bullet drops, it will hit a standing man in the feet. Anyone standing within the beaten zone will be hit somewhere from head to foot. The concept works best as part of a static defence with the area covered by a position plotted out beforehand. Usually the machine guns will be mounted on a tripod and indirect fire sights such as a dial sight fitted in addition to, or instead of, direct fire ones. Fire can then be called in by spotter s to engage specific points in the guns field of fire, even if out of sight of the machine gunners. Overlapping machine guns, creating a crossfire , using the beaten zone concept, together with the idea of Enfilade and defilade enfilading were an important part of World War I . Beaten zone can also refer to the area that shells will usually land in when fired from an artillery piece. It is in the shape of a rectangle with the longer sides parallel to the direction of fire because artillery tends to deviate more forwards and backwards than right and left.
