machine gun fire
Rapid repeated shots
Machine gun fire is the rapid, continuous discharge of bullets from an automatic weapon.
The phrase emphasizes the sustained, staccato nature of the sound or impact: Machine gun fire erupted from the treeline.
Figuratively, it describes anything delivered in rapid bursts—questions, criticism, or verbal attacks: The reporter hit the senator with machine gun fire.
