Why does instantly jumping around a corner in a ruined city absolutely guarantee you will be blown to pieces? π’π₯
Urban combat requires soldiers to move through thousands of deadly, blind corners where the enemy is constantly waiting in ambush.
If an ordinary soldier aggressively rushed to the edge of a brick wall and violently swung his entire body around to look, it was a tactical su***de trap! The enemy machine-gunner was already perfectly aimed at the hallway! The absolute millisecond the soldier's body cleared the wall, he completely abandoned his structural cover, instantly absorbing a totally unavoidable, lethal wave of bullets!
Veteran US Infantrymen relentlessly drilled absolute optical and structural discipline: "Pieing" the Corner!
They utterly refused to touch the edge of the wall! The US soldier stepped several feet backward away from the corner! He perfectly leveled his weapon and slowly moved in a wide, highly controlled circular arc! The optical physics were an absolute lifesaver! By stepping in a circle, he seamlessly, flawlessly "sliced" the visual angle of the hallway into tiny, microscopic degrees! He could see perfectly into the room inch-by-inch, completely scanning for threats, while the thick, solid brick wall physically remained completely in front of his biological body! If he spotted the enemy, he was already perfectly aimed and absolutely shielded by impenetrable masonry!
A fatal exposed swing or a genius shielded geometric angle-slice? π
