Gun laying is the process of aiming an artillery piece. The term is also applied to describe the process of aiming smaller calibre weapons by radar or computer control. The gun is typically traversed, rotated in a horizontal plane in order to gain a line of sight to the target; and elevated, moved in the vertical plane, to range it to the target.Vertical alignment is necessary to compensate for the vertical profile trajectory of the shot from the point it leaves the muzzle to the point where it encounters its target.

There are two possible paths that a shot can take to a target at a defined range. The lower, rising, trajectory is known as grazing fire or direct fire, and the higher, falling, trajectory is plunging fireIn some gun mountings it is also possible to depress the gun, that is to move it in the vertical plane to point it below the horizontal, to fire down at a target. Such a facility is only of relevance if the gun is higher than its target, though in some muzzle loading guns, the gun must be depressed to load it. These movements, and the mechanism to handle the recoil of the gun, are provided by the gun mounting.
