Frequently Asked Questions

What is 'fire superiority' in a self-defense context?

Fire superiority means returning fire so effectively and aggressively that it suppresses the threat, creating a tactical advantage. In situations where cover is distant, this overwhelming return fire can act as your most effective form of cover.

Why is running across open ground dangerous during a shooting?

Running across open ground, often called 'no man's land,' is dangerous because you become a stationary or moving target with no protection. If cover is far away, this movement significantly increases your vulnerability to enemy fire.

When should you consider fire superiority as cover?

Consider fire superiority as cover when actual physical cover is too far away to reach safely. If you are engaged and cannot immediately reach cover, establishing overwhelming return fire can deter the attacker and create an opportunity to move or escape.
