firepower
n.
effectiveness of a military force as measured by its weapons
Firepower
Firepower is the military capability to direct force at an enemy. (It is not to be confused with the concept of
rate of fire, which describes cycling of the firing mechanism in a
weapon system.) Firepower involves the whole range of potential
weapons. The concept is generally taught as one of the three key principles of
modern warfare wherein the enemy forces are destroyed or have their will to fight negated by sufficient and preferably overwhelming use of force as a result of
combat operations.
