firer
One who terminates
A firer is someone who fires—whether discharging a weapon, launching a projectile, or dismissing an employee.
The word is functional but uncommon, since English usually prefers shooter for weapons and other constructions for termination: The firer of the fatal shot was never identified.
In industrial contexts, a firer tends a furnace or kiln.
