That's called intelligence and some idea of the 
OOB of the other guys. By the same token I can 
probably dig up many accounts of the use of 
PIATs, Bazookas and 6 pounder AT guns used to hit 
a steeple or high tower that was being used by a 
sniper that was holding up an advance. IF you're 
being shot at and you have a weapon that'lld to 
the job, you'll probably use it.
