Plunging fire is a form of indirect fire, where gunfire is fired at a trajectory to make it fall on its target from above. It is normal at the high trajectories used to attain long range, and can be used deliberately to attack a target not susceptible to direct or grazing fire due to …

Plunging fire occurs when there is little or no danger space from the muzzle of the weapon to the beaten zone. It occurs when weapons fire at long range, when firing from high...

Plunging fire also occurs when firing at long ranges, from high ground to low ground, into abruptly rising ground, or across uneven terrain, resulting in a loss of grazing fire at any point...

Plunging Fire- Plunging fire is defined where the danger space is confined to the beaten zone. Plunging fire is obtained when firing from high ground to low ground or low ground to high...

2017年2月15日 · The classes of fire with respect to the ground are two-fold: grazing and plunging. Grazing fire is achieved with the machine gun when the center of the cone of fire does not rise more than one meter above the ground.

Plunging fire strikes the target from a high angle and confines the danger space to the beaten zone. For example, when fired from the top of a hill, projectiles follow an arcing trajectory and...

The meaning of PLUNGING FIRE is direct fire from a superior elevation resulting in the projectiles striking the target (as ground) at a high angle.

Plunging fire in terrestrial warfare allows attacking a target not in direct line of sight, for example over the brow of a hill engaging in a reverse slope defence. Artillery weapons such as howitzers and mortars are designed for this purpose.

Plunging fire is a form of indirect fire, where gunfire is fired at a trajectory to make it fall on its target from above. It is normal at the high trajectories used to attain long range, and can be used deliberately to attack a target not susceptible to direct or grazing fire due to …

Plunging fire refers to a type of artillery or gunfire that is directed at a steep angle, causing projectiles to descend onto the target from above. This contrasts with direct fire, where the trajectory is more horizontal.
