Where to shoot? Donde disparar

[Grump/Gump.45]

Enemy is somewhere on the ground, potentially on any bearing 360 degrees around, moving beyond the view distance fog or between you and the view distance behind some terrain.

You see lots of "random shooting in combat footage", but its really "Combat Techniques of Fire", suppression, grazing fire, plunging fire, recon by fire, pre-fire. Each with its own effect, method, purpose and output volume.

Recon by fire, probing fire as I call it makes the enemy think you know they are there, or they respond impulsively giving away their position. You are giving away yours in the process of firing but you are already looking and shooting all directions you could get shot from, ready, expecting it.

Grazing fire is aimed height of a man, could be area target, point target, sweep it, move it up and down.

Pre-fire is shooting before you need to, clearing fire. Use it in close combat or long range combat

Suppression, put it everywhere there isn't friendly. Fire just over terrain into view distance, height of a man.

Its always a good time to practice aim on trees or the gaps in between to send round deep. Scanning fire. Apply to all assets.

For armor, enemy hides when they see you, fire into areas that appear empty while listening for enemy armor, bait enemy armor, fall back, hide, ambush when they appear. The coax is for scaring the LAT/HAT with pre-fire, buys you time to look another direction if you sent rounds near them. 10,000 COAX on Abrams, 4000 on Sherman
