    Gunfire is the shooting of guns, especially when it happens again and again, or the sound that shooting makes. You hear gunfire; you may also be “under gunfire” when shots are coming toward you. It is not one single shot — that is a gunshot — and it is not the fight between people, though a is full of gunfire. News reports use it a lot: “We heard gunfire in the night.” It is uncountable most of the time: you do not usually say “a gunfire.” The “fire” here is the old military use of fire, meaning to shoot, as in “open fire,” not a fire that burns wood. Built from gun + fire.

    槍聲；槍火（連續射擊或其聲音，不是「一把火」）
