Also known as Drake Shooting, Rhodesian Cover Shooting may be defined as the shooting
technique employed to quickly kill concealed insurgents through the various phases of close
quarter combat in the African savanna and jesse bush. The method did not replace "fire and
movement" procedures, but was rather the primary activity of them. Cover shooting has also
been described as a "flushing" action, but this is not strictly accurate. While flushing terrorists
from their concealment has obvious advantages, particularly when working with close helicopter
support, the first objective of cover shooting was to kill the enemy without the need to see him or
locate his exact position first. Likewise the method should not be confused with other foreign
practises such as walking suppression fire directed "at the jungle." Cover shooting was not a
random spraying of bullets, but a deliberate and methodical routine designed to elicit maximum
effect for the least expenditure of ammunition.
