What does GTL stand for?

• A. Ground Target Line
• B. Gun Target Line
• C. Gun Trajectory Line
• D. General Target Line

Answer: (B)

GTL stands for Gun Target Line—the line from the firing gun to the target used to orient fire and designate where rounds should impact. This line helps the shooter and observer communicate exactly where the weapon should point relative to the target, ensuring accurate placement and safety along that path. The other terms aren’t standard: a Ground Target Line isn’t the established term for this concept, Gun Trajectory Line would refer to the projectile’s flight path rather than the target-oriented line, and General Target Line isn’t a used term in this context.
