  • L'expression tir de joie ou tir de célébration désigne l'utilisation d'une arme à feu, généralement en tirant en l'air, dans le but de fêter un événement. Cette coutume est controversée dans les pays où elle est pratiquée, car les balles réelles provoquent des victimes en retombant. La coutume de tirer en l'air avec des armes légères, comme des fusils d'assaut kalachnikov, à l'occasion d'un événement heureux est répandue dans certains pays du Moyen-Orient. (fr)
  • 庆祝枪声是在庆典中利用枪械对空中发射的庆祝方式,盛行在巴尔干半岛、中东、中亚的阿富汗、南亚的巴基斯坦和印度北部以及拉丁美洲地区。在波多黎各和美国的其他地区,这种庆祝方式是非法的,尤其是发生在假期的节日庆典。 一般上,这种庆祝的方式会出现在婚礼、元旦、独立日,以及圣诞节和开斋节的宗教假期。 这种庆祝方式可能会出现流弹导致人命伤亡,以及不必要的财物损失。 美国疾病控制与预防中心的一份研究发现,有80%的庆祝枪声导致头、脚和肩膀的受伤。 子弹也有可能会穿透屋顶,对屋瓦造成损害,引致屋顶漏水,大多数的损害都必须要加以修复。 (zh)
