Gun laying

Gun laying is the process of aiming a firearm or artillery piece accurately at a target. It involves adjusting the weapon’s elevation (up and down) and azimuth (side to side) using specialized equipment or markings to ensure the projectile hits the intended point. Precise gun laying is essential for effective targeting, whether in military, naval, or artillery operations. It accounts for variables like distance, wind, and movement, often requiring calculations and live adjustments to maintain accuracy during firing.
