hip fire
Shoot without sighting
Hip fire is shooting a firearm without raising it to eye level or using the sights, keeping the weapon at hip or chest height.
The technique sacrifices accuracy for speed and mobility, common in close-quarters combat.
In video games, hip fire contrasts with aiming down sights: I hip fired the shotgun and got lucky.
The term works as both noun and verb.
