| 11. | Supposedly this is done so that each firer will have some doubt whether he fired a bullet killing the condemned.
|
| 12. | The purpose of embrasures is to allow weapons to be fired out from the fortification while the firer remains under cover.
|
| 13. | However, it is mostly used when the target is at longer range and invisible to the firer due to the terrain.
|
| 14. | The high recoil of the rifle was very hard on the firer, sometimes breaking the collar bone or dislocating the shoulder.
|
| 15. | However, while it was a useful source of information it was not sufficiently accurate to give a location for the firer.
|
| 16. | The firer only had to line this up in the direction of the target and fire a number of bombs for effect.
|
| 17. | There are additional modifiers for the actions of the firer and target and for the Terrain Value ( default natural cover ).
|
| 18. | Early autocannons were heavy and had a slow rate of fire, severely limiting the ability of the firer to use them effectively.
|
| 19. | These innovations, taken together, meant that the quick-firer could fire aimed shells much more rapidly than an older weapon.
|
| 20. | This is much safer than using a wire-guided system where the firer must stay stationary to guide the missile into the target.
