👉 The proceeding weapon, also known as the follow-up or trailing weapon, is a type of firearm that fires additional rounds after the initial shot, typically to maintain or extend the effectiveness of the original weapon. This is achieved through various mechanisms, such as a secondary chamber that fires after the main round is discharged or a magazine that automatically feeds rounds into the weapon as it empties. Proceeding weapons are commonly used in tactical situations where maintaining firepower is crucial, such as in close-quarters combat or when dealing with multiple targets. They can significantly enhance a soldier's ability to engage and neutralize threats efficiently, though they require careful handling and maintenance to ensure reliability and safety.
