Which transmission is sent after each round fired?

• A. Shot, Out
• B. Splash, Out
• C. Rounds Complete
• D. Target Acquired

Answer: (A)

The main idea is the standard fire support communication after a round is fired. After the gun fires, the shooter uses the transmission “Shot, Out” to confirm that the round left the weapon and the statement is finished, signaling that the gun crew has completed that firing event and is ready for the next step or instruction. This keeps everyone aligned and reduces ambiguity about whether a shot was actually fired. The other phrases don’t fit this moment: “Splash, Out” would indicate an observed impact or splash, not the act of firing; “Rounds Complete” refers to exhausting all available rounds for the mission; and “Target Acquired” is just the step where the target is located, not after firing.
