What is another word for grazing fire?
Pronunciation: [ɡɹˈe͡ɪzɪŋ fˈa͡ɪ͡ə] (IPA) 
Grazing fire is a term used to describe the direction of bullets when they skim or graze the surface of the ground or other obstacles. There are a few synonyms that can be used to describe this type of fire, such as skipping fire, ricochet fire, or skipped shots. Skipped shots refer explicitly to the bullets that ricochet, while skipping fire and ricochet fire can describe both the bullets and the direction of fire. Another synonym that is sometimes used is tangential fire, which describes the way bullets graze an object at an angle. While all of these terms refer to similar firing patterns, they may be used in different contexts depending on the mission and training scenario.
