Multiple Round Simultaneous Impact. A technique made possible by partial, or even fully, automated loading of rounds courtesy of modern technology. What is done is that with each consecutive firing in the sequence the artillery piece lowers the barrel elevation angle, decreasing flight time by firing at increasingly shallow angles. With a good crew, or a fully automated system, you can get up to 5 rounds hitting roughly the same area at roughly the same time.

The reason why this tactic is deployed is because the first 60 seconds of an artillery barrage are the most lethal. With MRSI, you can maximize the body count while your enemy is still at their most surprised, abundant, exposed, and vulnerable.

Keep in mind that this tactic is really only implented with heavy artillery, usually 155mm howitzers and 120mm mortars. Those things aren't portable. Hence why I brought the tactic up here.
