(Arma 3 1.14) Source vehicle is only limited to manned vehicle while any other types won’t be able to active fireAtTarget handle, e.g.

_handle = _infantryUnit fireAtTarget [_infantryTarget, weapons _infantryUnit select 0]; // false & no bullet shoot
Target has no limitation and can be any object:
_handle = (vehicle _veh) fireAtTarget [objNull, weapons (vehicle _veh) select 0]; // true & a bullet shoot
Handle returns false if weapon class name is inaccurate, e.g.
_handle = (vehicle _veh) fireAtTarget [ObjNull, "UnknownWeapon"]; // false & no bullet shoot
Handle still returns true even though the vehicle is unavailable to shoot any bullet:
_weapon = weapons (vehicle _veh) select 0; (vehicle _veh) setAmmo [_weapon, 0]; _handle = (vehicle _veh) fireAtTarget [objNull, _weapon]; // true & no bullet shoot

Difference

command Source Target Behavior Workaround templets
fire Either unit or manned vehicle N/A Fired aiming at air for infantry rifle Together with selectWeapon,

suggested to work with "throw","put" weapon type for infantry, or vehicle entity indeed.

fireAtTarget Manned vehicle only Any object Normal shoot, won’t aim at target automatically

_veh doWatch _target; waitUntil { _veh aimedAtTarget [_target] > 0 }; _veh fireAtTarget [_target];

forceWeaponFire Either unit or manned aircraft (weapon operator) N/A Normal shoot, can change fire mode

// e.g. unit won't shoot until he is facing the target _unit doWatch _tar; waitUntil { _dir = direction _unit; _relative = [_unit,_tar] call BIS_fnc_relativeDirTo; if (_dir == _relative) exitWith { _unit forceWeaponFire [currentWeapon _unit, "single"]; }; false };

doFire Unit only Either unit or vehicle automatic aiming and shooting No special example.
