Fire power



Fire power is a military concept rooted in the ability to direct a heavy weight of metal onto an enemy or enemy possession as measured by the concept of rate of fire. The concept is taught as one of the key principles of modern warfare wherein the enemy forces are destroyed or have their will to fight reduced to insignificance by sufficient and preferably overwhelming use of fire power on the field of battle.
