walking
n.— «Tournament paintball guns are semi-automatic. Players tend to shoot using a method called “walking,” in which they push the trigger by quickly alternating between their middle and index fingers. If done properly, this will provide a steady stream of fire of about 20 balls per second.» —“Father and son team triumph at paintball tourney” by David Levine News-Times (Danbury, Conn.) Aug. 20, 2005. (source: Double-Tongued Dictionary)
