Fire for effect is a military term. According to NATO doctrine: Fire
which is delivered after the mean point of impact or burst is within
the desired distance of the target or adjusting/ranging point. Term in a
call for fire to indicate the adjustment/ranging is satisfactory and fire for effect is desired.
Adjust fire; or fire for effect (if the location of the target is accurate within 50 meters and the fire for effect will be effective without any adjustment). A spotting is a brief description of where the rounds landed with relation to the target. It assists the observer in developing his subsequent correction.

Combat androids, also known as combat synthetics, are specially armored and hardened synthetics constructed specifically for combat purposes. Although the equipping of androids with weapons or uninhibited combat abilities was prohibited by the Geneva Convention, combat models have been widely employed by the Weyland-Yutani Corporation, who often used illegally manufactured units for security at critical Weyland-Yutani installations. Relaxing of regulations later also led to the United States Colonial Marine Corps.

REDWOOD CITY, Calif. --
A former San Mateo child psychiatrist was sentenced to 8 years in
prison this afternoon for molestations of five boys who came to him for
counseling in the 1990s. William Ayers will also be required to
register as a sex offender for the rest of his life as part of his
sentence for pleading no contest to eight counts of lewd and lascivious
acts on a child under 14. Ten people told stories today, many tearfully, of how molestations by Ayres drastically changed the direction of their lives.
In the packed San Mateo County Superior courtroom of Judge Beth Labson Freeman this morning, the victims of Ayres and their loved ones addressed the court to give their victim impact statements -- the last step in the legal process before Ayres is sentenced.
Ayres, 81 and wheelchair-bound, barely looked up during the hearing. Dressed in red jail-issued clothing with his white hair disheveled, he stared forward, never once glancing to the side to make eye contact with those who chose to stand to deliver their accounts rather than sit on the witness stand.
On May 16, just after the start of his second jury trial, Ayres pleaded no contest to eight counts of
The former president of the American Academy of Child & Adolescent Psychiatry pleaded no contest in May 2013 to eight felony counts of lewd and lascivious acts with five children under the age of 14. He was suspected of molesting dozens more in the 1980s and 1990s under the guise of physical exams conducted in his San Mateo office.
“I don’t use the word ‘evil’ very often,” said San Mateo County District Attorney Steve Wagstaffe, “but evil is a term that applies to Dr. Ayres and what he did to so many lives over the years.”
For a long time, victims feared Ayres would escape without punishment. A 2009 trial ended in a hung jury. In 2011, Ayres was sent to a psychiatric hospital to be treated for Alzheimer’s-related dementia, putting an apparent end to the legal saga.
But in a dramatic reversal, a San Mateo County Superior Court judge ruled in October 2012 that Ayres had been exaggerating his symptoms and declared him mentally fit for retrial.
Jack Ratcliffe, San Mateo’s deputy chief of police, said in a statement that Ayres’ submission in 2013 came after seven years of hard work and investigation.
lewd and lascivious acts on a child under 14 for allegedly inappropriately touching five boys who had come to him for counseling in the 1990s. He was remanded into custody on Aug. 7.
Prosecutors contend the victims were fondled as part of "medical" examinations conducted during counseling sessions with Ayres between 1991 and 1996. The boys were between the ages of 9 and 13 at the time, according to prosecutors.
Ayres treated child patients from the 1960s to 2006, according to the district attorney's office. He was also called upon to evaluate hundreds of cases, including some involving sex offenders, in San Mateo County juvenile court as far back as the 1970s.
This morning, with four armed guards standing beside Ayres, victim Thomas C., wearing black thick-rimmed glasses, took his turn to address the court. With his eyes focused on Ayres, Thomas C. referred to him as a serial pedophile.
"You look like a wolf spider -- you don't even know how many children you caught in your web," he said.
Thomas C., now a psychiatrist himself who focuses on helping adolescents, ended his statement with, "You are going where all the other wolf spiders go to die."
