run and gun
Attack while advancing
Run and gun describes a fast-paced, aggressive style emphasizing movement and quick shooting over careful aim or strategy.
In basketball, a run-and-gun offense pushes the ball upcourt rapidly, taking early shots.
In video games, run-and-gun gameplay means charging through levels while firing constantly: Call of Duty rewards run-and-gun players.
The phrase can describe any approach favoring speed and aggression over deliberation.
