Fire: how do you fire the missile?

• A. Quick tap firing
• B. Press and hold the firing trigger for 3-5 seconds
• C. Fire quickly
• D. Hold the safety switch

Answer: (B)

Firing is designed as a deliberate arming step. You depress the firing trigger and keep it held for a brief period to arm the launcher and initiate the launch sequence. That intentional hold gives the system time to initialize its timing, safety interlocks, and targeting electronics, ensuring you truly intend to fire. A quick tap isn’t enough to complete the arming sequence, so it can fail to launch or produce an unstable result. Holding the safety switch would keep the system in a safe state and prevent firing. So the required action is to press and hold the firing trigger for a short, deliberate period to start the launch.
