One must first detect a fleeting mobile or moving target, decide that it is worthy of destruction, select the missile to be fired against the target, compute ballistics for the flight, and prepare the missile for firing.

While clay is still pressed in mold, press three equally spaced holes 1/4'' '' deep, using pencil eraser, in bottom of clay to allow for proper drying and firing.

As a finale is appended a close-up of one of the band taking aim and firing his revolver straight at the audience.

No Union soldiers were observed to have ever gotten behind Johnston during the fatal charge, while it is known that many Confederates were firing at the Union lines while Johnston charged well in advance of his soldiers.

* 1941 – Corporal Josef Jakobs is executed by firing squad at the Tower of London at 7: 12 am, making him the last person to be executed at the Tower for treason.

Turret stabilization is an important capability because it enables firing on the move and prevents crew fatigue.

For example a target acquisition element can send a message with target details which is automatically routed through the tactical and technical fire control elements to deliver firing data to the gun's laying system and the gun automatically laid.

The process to produce firing data this is sometimes called technical fire control.

A possible example of actual use of two guns firing at the same time is " Dual wield ", practiced by Russian special forces.

While this does bear some similarity with the classic posture of cowboys firing their twin revolvers from the hip, in games this posture is almost never reflected, with almost all game characters firing twin guns at shoulder level, straight-armed.

Counter-Strike is a notable exception, in that the player models are seen externally to fire akimbo Berettas from the hip, but appear to be firing from shoulder level from the first-person perspective.

When alcohol consumption is stopped too abruptly, the person's nervous system suffers from uncontrolled synapse firing.

A bomber is a military aircraft designed to attack ground and sea targets, by dropping bombs on them, firing torpedoes at them, or – in recent years – by launching cruise missiles at them.

Jim is given the task of exploding the bombs, which he does by firing pistol shots into them.

In this capacity they establish policies and make decisions on issues such as whether there is dividend and how much it is, stock options distributed to employees, and the hiring / firing and compensation of upper management.

While firing a higher quantity of smaller bullets makes it easier to hit a target ( and is therefore good for beginner marksmen ), it offers very little to more advanced marksmen.

The term cannon is also used for autocannon, a modern repeating weapon firing explosive projectiles.

The earliest known depiction of a gun is a sculpture from a cave in Sichuan, dating to the 12th century that portrays a figure carrying a vase-shaped bombard, firing flames and a ball.

The same basic engine block can be used with different crankshafts, however, to alter the firing order ; for instance, the 90 ° V6 engine configuration, in older days sometimes derived by using six cylinders of a V8 engine with what is basically a shortened version of the V8 crankshaft, produces an engine with an inherent pulsation in the power flow due to the " missing " two cylinders.

In double trigger designs, it is often possible to pull both triggers at once, firing both barrels simultaneously, though this is generally not recommended as it doubles the recoil, battering both shooter and shotgun.

* 1896 – Filipino patriot and reform advocate José Rizal is executed by a Spanish firing squad in Manila, Philippines.

Davros now has a mechanical hand which is capable of firing electricity.

For the first few decades of indirect fire, the firing data were often calculated by the observer who then adjusted the fall of shot onto the target.

A shotgun usually retains its ancestor's smooth bore, and while originally designed to fire a packet of relatively small shot pellets, is also capable of firing larger slugs, or specialty ( often " less lethal ") rounds such as bean bags, tear gas or breaching rounds.

Early multi-barrel guns were approximately the size and weight of artillery pieces, and were often perceived as a replacement for cannon firing grapeshot or canister shot.

IFVs also often have improved armour and some have firing ports ( allowing the infantry to fire personal weapons while mounted ).

Although modern kilns often have sophisticated electrical systems to control the firing temperatures, pyrometric devices are also frequently used.

Automatic rifles ( such as the Browning Automatic Rifle ) were designed to be a high duty cycle arm for support of other troops, and were often made and deployed with quick change barrel assemblies to allow quick replacement of over heated barrels to allow for continued fire, and may have been operated by both the person actually firing the weapon as well as an additional crewman to assist in providing and caring for ammunition and the barrels, similar to a reduced version of a squad weapon ( above ).

Assault rifles are a compromise between the size and weight of a pistol-caliber submachinegun and a full size traditional automatic rifle by firing intermediate cartridges, ( or sometimes full power cartridges ) and allowing semi-automatic, burst or full-automatic fire options ( selective fire ), often with two or more of these available on the rifle at once.

Early multi-barrel guns were approximately the size and weight of contemporary artillery pieces, and were often perceived as a replacement for cannon firing grapeshot or canister shot.

With hoppers, the rounds could often be added while the weapon was firing.

These tonic receptors most often respond to increased intensity of stimulus by increasing their firing frequency, usually as a power function of stimulus plotted against impulses per second.

From the window he often saw British soldiers firing at the demonstrators, men and women.

The casting and firing of roof tiles is an industry that is often associated with brickworks.

Note that this concealment is often preferably outdoors, because firing an RPG within an enclosed area may create a dangerous backblast.

Discontinuities in acceleration also occur when stages burn out, often starting at a lower acceleration with each new stage firing.

Rolling blocks are most often associated with firearms made by Remington in the later 19th century ; in the Remington action the hammer serves to lock the breech closed at the moment of firing, and the block in turn prevents the hammer from falling with the breech open.

Although often similar to tank destroyers, they carried larger caliber guns with weaker anti-armor performance but capable of firing powerful HE projectiles.

A V12 with two banks of six cylinders angled at 60 °, 120 ° or 180 ° ( with the latter configuration usually referred to as a flat-12 ) from each other has even firing with power pulses delivered twice as often per revolution as a straight-6.

More modern 90 ° V6 engine designs avoid these vibration problems by using crankshafts with offset split crankpins to make the firing intervals even, and often add balancing shafts to eliminate the other vibration problems.

In the Vietnam War, firing the gun often adversely affected the delicate electronics, which were at the early stages of the transition to solid state devices, so the missile and its guidance system was omitted from vehicles deployed to Vietnam.

Tactical shields often have a firing port so that the officer holding the shield can fire a weapon while being protected by the shield, and they often have a bulletproof glass viewing port.

It is often used as an insulator or housing for electrical components, due to its durability and electrical characteristics and because it can be pressed into complex shapes before firing.

Wilson and McNaughton 1994, and numerous later studies, reported that when hippocampal place cells have overlapping spatial firing fields ( and therefore often fire in near-simultaneity ), they tend to show correlated activity during sleep following the behavioral session.
