What is the primary effect of a firepower kill?

The primary effect of a firepower kill is the inability to fire weapon systems. When a vehicle or platform suffers a firepower kill, it means that its ability to effectively engage targets with its weapons has been compromised. This can result from damage to the weapon systems, ammunition, or vital components needed for firing.

By disabling the weapon systems, the platform becomes significantly less effective in combat without necessarily destroying the vehicle itself or neutralizing the entire crew. Although the crew may still be present and the vehicle may still be operational in terms of mobility, the lack of firing capability is a critical outcome that alters the dynamics of the battlefield.

Moreover, while loss of mobility, destruction of the vehicle, and neutralization of the crew are significant, they do not directly represent the core outcome associated with a firepower kill, which focuses specifically on the operational capability to deliver fire.
