Мне просто представляется, что... ...gunfire шире, чем shellfire.
Evgeny Artemov (X) Jan 23, 2015:
Таки да. Т.к. с начала конфликта. + ещё и ракетный.
(ружейно-пулемётный -- было бы "обстрелов". Мн.ч.).

Не, прикопаться, ass retentively, конечно, можно. А оно нужно?

А аскеру неплохоб контекстб подогнать.
Oleg Lozinskiy Jan 23, 2015:
Евгений, А Вы уверены, что это артиллерийско-минометный обстрел, а не автоматно-пулеметно-минометно-артиллерийский обстрел?
Evgeny Artemov (X) Jan 23, 2015:
Да просто shelling has increased ten times since....
К чему официоз?
