Everything about Blindfire totally explained
Blindfire is when a person fires a weapon from behind an object and doesn't reveal themself. While performing this, the person usually doesn't know where he/she is aiming and is thus shooting "blindly"
The name also is used in
paintball and
airsoft, and is usually an illegal move due to possibly unnecessary injuries.
A common misconception is that it's an effective way to provide cover fire for an advancing team/squad mate, however, the point of cover fire is to suppress, but not necessarily kill, the enemy defending a position. While concentrated cover fire on their position will usually slow down or halt the enemy's own attack, blindfiring can be hopelessly inaccurate at medium and long range distances, to the point where gunfire won't come anywhere near the enemy. The only scenario where blindfire is an effective strategy is when cornered by numerous advancing enemies at close range.
Blindfiring is seen in almost every action movie and shooting game today. It is a common technic used in games where a cover system is present and the player doesn't wish to reveal themselves fully to the enemy. It is specially effective with close ranged weapons such as a shotgun which has a wide target area.
Examples of blindire can be seen in videogames like Gears of War, Grand Theft Auto IV, and Dark Sector, though because of the
third person perspective in these games, the player isn't actually shooting blindly.
