WALLS

When firing from behind walls, you must fire around cover and not over it.

WINDOWS

In an urban area, windows provide convenient firing ports. Avoid firing from the standing position, which would expose most of your body to return fire from the enemy, and which could silhouette you against a light-colored interior background. This is an obvious sign of your position, especially at night when the muzzle flash can be easily observed. To fire from a window properly, remain well back in the room to hide the flash and kneel to limit exposure and avoid silhouetting yourself.

LOOPHOLES

You may fire through a hole created in the wall and avoid windows. You must stay well back from the loophole so the muzzle of the weapon does not protrude beyond the wall, and the muzzle flash is concealed.

ROOF

The peak of a roof provides a vantage point that increases field of vision and the ranges at which you can engage targets (Figure 9-15). A chimney, smokestack, or any other object protruding from the roof of a building should be used to reduce the size of the target exposed.
