Topic: Suppressive fire

	Suppressive fire - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Suppressive fire is a term used in military science for firing weapons at or in the direction of an enemy with the primary goal of reducing their ability to defend themselves or return fire, by forcing them to remain under cover.
		Suppression of enemy fire is vital during troop movement especially in tactical situations such as an attack on an enemy position.
		Suppressive fire can also be delivered using other weapons such as assault rifles, but the volume and intensity of fire generated is less than that of machine guns, as the rifles overheat more rapidly and require reloading more often.

	Rate of fire - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		For manually-operated weapons such as bolt-action rifles or artillery pieces, the rate of fire is governed primarily by the training of the operator or crew, within some mechanical limitations.
		Good past examples of growth in rates of fire would be the enormous advantage of the Maxim MG, which provided accurate and steady, offensive or suppressive fire.
		Machine guns are typically fired in short bursts rather than in long continuous streams of fire, although there are times when they must be fired in very long bursts.

	FM 23-9 Chapter 4 Combat Fire Techniques
		Suppressive fire is used to control the enemy and the area he occupies.
		Suppressive fire is employed to kill the enemy or to prevent him from observing the battlefield or effectively using his weapons.
		Firing is, therefore, controlled and coordinated so that a continuous volume of accurate suppressive fire is delivered to the target area.

	FM 7-8 Chptr 4 Battle Drills
		Soldiers (teams/squads) not receiving fires move by a covered and concealed route to a vulnerable flank of the enemy position and assault using fire and movement techniques.
		On the platoon leader's signal, the base-of-fire element lifts fires or shifts fires to the opposite side of the bunker from which the squad is assaulting.
		The squad leader and assault fire team move to the entrance of the next room to be cleared and position themselves on either side of the entrance.

	Operation Flashpoint Network
		Fire Superiority means that one side is able to fire more rounds and/or more accurately than the other who becomes 'suppressed.' 'Pinning down the enemy' can be complicated and difficult, or simple.
		Fireteam leaders tell their teams where to concentrate their fires, team members yell out when and where they see the enemy, everyone yells out when they are running low, or reloading, when they have taken cover and firing (so the other person can get up and move).
		Firing from the shoulder (since they are closer it is much easier to hit) the Marines charge into the enemy positions and engage them in close combat.

		Once the movement half is in place they become the suppressive fire half and switch off until out of range.
		Suppressive fire, individual movement, movement within a team, and stealth all play roles in the tactics explained in the subsequent paragraphs.
		Suppressive fire should be used to engage the enemy since fortified positions are generally better prepared for a frontal assault.

		A dedicated support element, firing from an established SBF position, can focus entirely on suppressing the positions that most endanger the assault.
		Maintain suppressive fire right up to the point when the assault element enters the enemy position.
		Long assaults by fire and movement require more suppressive fires and are critically vulnerable when suppression stops early.

	Any role for suppressive fire in LEO/civilian training - THR
		Suppressive fire allows for team movement which is often critical to gaining fire/overall superiority in an engagement.
		I think suppressive fire is great for fire and maneuver tactics and should not be discounted.
		Suppressive fire is useful for fire and maneuver encounters but for civilians or LEOs it needs to be used sparingly especially in residential areas.

	Suppression is the Critical Infantry Task (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-15)
		Marine leaders are taught to establish their suppression element and then maneuver their assault element to within 250 meters of the objective while indirect fires suppress the enemy.
		From there, the direct fires of the suppression element permit the assault element to close to within fifty meters of the objective.
		Overwhelming suppressive fire is critical in permitting an assault element to close and penetrate an enemy position.

	Correct use of three round bursts and automatic fire.
		Bursts will be fired only when beating off an enemy assault, making a counterthrust (against a penetration, in close combat), or at very short ranges during combat in trenches, towns, or woods.
		While manuals state that such weapons should mainly be used to fire 3 round bursts in practice this may not be done in the heat of combat.
		There may be merit in experimenting with semi-automatic suppressive fire with such weapons and reserving fully-automatic fire for definate targets.

	AA :: Index
		I think an excellent way to continue to have the idea of suppressive fire intergrated with the game, but do away with "Spam" is to have more dynamic spawn points, so the opfor can't get that 5 second 203, but keeps it so it can be used to help their team obtain it's objective.
		Nice post, that's why they made the rate of fire for the m249 a little bit less in like 2.0 I think it was, to make it more of a suppressive fire gun.
		Suppressive seems to be alot more effective too since it keeps them down and my team can then get them.

		Making numerous runs on the tanks, they provided suppressive fire on the enemy troops near the tanks preventing them returning accurate fire on the aircraft.
		Upon receiving fire, he made several sweeps with his turret thus providing cover for his aircraft and the utility ship.
		In the midst of all of this confusion, he remained calm and provided suppressive fire against the hostile enemy force.

		If a sofa for example caught fire the capillaries would be damaged and the water would seep, not gush out.
		The water would dampen the area of the fire and extinguish it.
		This might be better as whatever caused the fire (airplane crash?) might also disrupt the water supply.
