Placing an artillery piece so that it fires over the top of a parapet as opposed to through a slit in the parapet called an embrasure. Barbette fire allowed the gun more flexibility, up to a 90-degree field of fire, but provided less protection for gunners than embrasures. (ahn bar-bet'). (references)
