Examples of use of volume of fire
1. Airstrikes were called in due to the heavy volume of fire from the building and U.S. aircraft fired multiple rounds at the building.
2. The volume of fire was massive and I took my webbing off and threw it behind me, so that I could lie flatteras I crawled to the side, into dead ground.
3. Rice apparently relayed a proposal for resuming the lull that Hamas had transmitted via Egypt, and on her departure last Wednesday, Prime Minister Ehud Olmert responded publicly, saying: "If they don‘t fire Qassams at us, we won‘t attack in Gaza." Since then, both sides have sharply reduced the volume of fire.
4. The battalion won a Presidential Unit Citation for "the heroism with which the volume of fire was maintained despite terrible enemy fire." Other milestones in the general‘s career ranged from parachute training and command of an airborne regimental combat team in the Korean War, to becoming for a time the youngest major general in the Army, to holding the prestigious post of Superintendent at West Point.
