A crossfire (also known as interlocking fire) is a military term for the siting of weapons (often automatic weapons such as assault rifles or submachine guns) so that their arcs of fire overlap. This tactic came to prominence in World War I.[citation needed]
The analysis highlights Early modern warfare, Trench warfare and "Caught in the crossfire" as prominent areas in the source structure around Crossfire.
Source areas are shown by the number of related topics found in each part of the analysis. Use smaller areas too: they can reveal specialized angles and content gaps.
