meurtrière or murder hole in English
The importance of Murder holes
In siege warfare a critical defensive measure is the murder hole. They are placed at checkpoints. They allow the defender to fire at the attacker with a very small
chance for the reverse.
Our heroes almost grasped the concept but fell short. In chapter 2, they drill a small hole in the second floor to peer into the lobby. These holes can be enlarged to allow gun fire, boiling water, oil kerosine, whatever.
I have done enough of these to say that although there may be pipes in some areas, the majority surface area will be free of obstruction. Another great place for the additions of murder holes is along the walls of the stairway from the lobby to the second floor. Zombies will begin to stack up at the door. Kill them with nearly perfect Enfilade fire. Rinse. Repeat
