Crossfire (U
A crossfire (also known as interlocking fire) is a military term for the siting of weapons (often automatic weapons such as assault rifles or sub-machine guns) so that their arcs of fire overlap. This tactic came to prominence in World War I. Siting weapons this way is an example of the application of the defensive principle of ''mutual support''. The advantage of siting weapons that mutually support one another is that it is difficult for an attacker to find a covered approach to any one defensive position. Use of armour, air support, indirect fire support, and stealth are tactics that may be used to assault a defensive position. However, when combined with land mines, snipers, barbed wire, and air cover, crossfire became a difficult tactic to counter in the early 20th century. Trench warfare The tactic of using overlapping arcs of fire came to prominence during World War I where it was a feature of trench warfare. Machine guns were placed in groups, called machine-gun nests ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Tempest In A Teapot
Tempest in a teapot (American English), or storm in a teacup (British English), is an idiom meaning a small event that has been exaggerated out of proportion. There are also lesser known or earlier variants, such as ''tempest in a teacup'', ''storm in a cream bowl'', ''tempest in a glass of water'', ''storm in a wash-hand basin'', and ''storm in a glass of water''. Etymology Cicero, in the first century BC, in his ''De Legibus'', used a similar phrase in Latin, possibly the precursor to the modern expressions, , translated: "For Gratidius raised a tempest in a ladle, as the saying is". Then in the early third century AD, Athenaeus, in the '' Deipnosophistae'', has Dorion ridiculing the description of a tempest in the ''Nautilus'' of Timotheus by saying that he had seen a more formidable storm in a boiling saucepan. The phrase also appeared in its French form ('a tempest in a glass of water'), to refer to the popular uprising in the Republic of Geneva near the end of the eighte ...
