  2. Hell-fire trigger - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hell-fire_trigger

    A hell-fire trigger is a device that allows a semi-automatic firearm to fire at an increased rate. The hell-fire clamps to the trigger guard behind the trigger and presses a "finger" against the back of the trigger to increase the force that returns the trigger to its forward position, effectively decreasing the time required for the trigger to reset, allowing for a faster follow-up shot.

  3. Forced reset trigger - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Forced_reset_trigger

    A forced reset trigger (or "hard reset" trigger) is a device that allows a person to fire a semi-automatic firearm at an increased rate. The forced reset trigger works by mechanically resetting the trigger's position after a shot is fired.

  4. Direct impingement - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Direct_impingement

    Firearms with a direct impingement design can, in principle, be constructed lighter than piston-operated designs. Because high-pressure gas acts directly upon the bolt and carrier in a direct impingement system, it does not need a separate gas cylinder, piston, and operating rod assembly of a conventional piston-operated system, only requiring a gas tube to channel gas from the barrel back ...

  5. Volley fire - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volley_fire

    Battle of Raszyn re-enactment, 2006. Volley fire, as a military tactic, is (in its simplest form) the concept of having soldiers shoot in the same direction en masse. [1] In practice, it often consists of having a line of soldiers all discharge their weapons simultaneously at the enemy forces on command, known as "firing a volley", followed by more lines of soldiers repeating the same ...

  6. Executable compression - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Executable_compression

    Software distributors use executable compression for a variety of reasons, primarily to reduce the secondary storage requirements of their software; as executable compressors are specifically designed to compress executable code, they often achieve better compression ratio than standard data compression facilities such as gzip, zip or bzip2 [citation needed].

  7. XM307 Advanced Crew Served Weapon - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XM307_Advanced_Crew_Served...

    As a part of the Small Arms Master Plan (SAMP) program, it is intended to either replace or supplement the Mk19 automatic grenade launcher and the M2 heavy machine gun. It fires 25 mm point-detonating and air burst style ammunition, including HE , and HEAT at a cyclic rate of 260 rounds per minute and has an effective range up to 2 kilometers.

  8. Fanning (firearms) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fanning_(firearms)

    Fanning (also known as fan firing) is a revolver shooting technique in which the shooter uses one hand to hold the gun and pull the trigger, while using the other hand to cock back the hammer repeatedly in a slapping-like fashion without touching any other parts of the gun.

  9. Just-in-time compilation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Just-in-time_compilation

    The JIT compiler reads the bytecodes in many sections (or in full, rarely) and compiles them dynamically into machine code so the program can run faster. This can be done per-file, per-function or even on any arbitrary code fragment; the code can be compiled when it is about to be executed (hence the name "just-in-time"), and then cached and ...
