What is hipfire?

Hipfire is a term used in shooter games referring to firing a weapon without aiming down the sights or using the scope. This is also sometimes called "from the hip." Typically, hipfire is less accurate but allows for faster and more mobile shooting, as the player doesn't have to stop and aim every time they fire. Some players prefer to use hipfire in closer range combat situations, while others prefer to aim down sights for improved accuracy. In real life, hipfire is a technique used in firearms training, but it is generally considered less accurate and more difficult to control.
