Which method of fire involves two or more shots fired in predetermined intervals?

• A. Salvo Fire
• B. Shoot-Look-Shoot
• C. Ripple Fire
• D. Engage

Answer: (C)

Firing two or more rounds with fixed time gaps between them creates a controlled burst over time. This ripple of shots allows you to cover more area and increases the chance of hitting a moving or reactive target because its position changes between shots. You can also observe the effects after each shot and, if needed, adjust your aim before the next round is fired. In addition, spacing reduces instantaneous thermal buildup and keeps the fire control rhythm steady. All-at-once firing would dump the entire volley at one moment, with no intervals. The Shoot-Look-Shoot approach centers on firing, taking a look to assess effects, then firing again based on what you observed, rather than following a fixed interval sequence. Engage is a general term for starting the action, not a specific multi-shot timing pattern.
