"...and the process is repeated until the target is rendered harmless, a more significant threat presents, ammunition is exhausted, the weapon malfunctions, or the individual or crew operating the weapon is incapacitated." That's kind of long. How much should we shorten it, if at all? RJFJR 16:33, 7 August 2007 (UTC)
"Lead the target, Walk the fire". Sound's catchy isn't? 175.137.8.74 (talk) 09:58, 8 July 2012 (UTC)
Meaning
[edit]The article Technology during World War II has a senence:
- "Earlier renditions that hinted at this idea were that of the employment of the Browning Automatic Rifle and 1916 Fedorov Avtomat in a walking fire tactic in which men would advance on the enemy position showering it with a hail of lead. "
that links here. But is this the sense used here? This article has very few links in. RJFJR 14:37, 22 September 2007 (UTC)
- No. "Walking fire" redirects here. In that sense, "walking fire" refers to the person with the weapon firing and walking at the same time. Whether or not the phrase "walking fire" also refers to the concept described in the article, I don't know. Perhaps someone should create and flesh out the "walking fire" article. — SheeEttin {T/C} 07:39, 23 August 2010 (UTC)
Done. The marching fire article is written, with walking fire a redirect. Regarding this article, the title seems too chatty. I wonder if there is another name for the tactic. Binksternet (talk) 04:30, 19 December 2011 (UTC)
