Plunging fire Plunging fire is gunfire directed upon an enemy from an elevated position , or gunfire aimed so as to fall on an enemy from above . In naval warfare plunging fire was often used to penetrate an enemy ship ' s thinner deck armor rather than firing directly at an enemy ship ' s side . Another method is in a form of indirect fire , by aiming the weapon , usually a machine gun or belt - fed grenade launcher , at such a degree that it is pointed over an elevated obstacle such as a hill that it may nearly graze it . The impact zone will be just that of the opposite side . The trajectory of the rounds will take effect and " plunge " greatly after travelling the determined range ; in which the rounds will be falling from directly above vice from the front , increasing the chances of striking an advancing force in the cone of fire when no other technique becomes effective . Both the howitzer and mortar provide this type of fire .
