"Trailing edge" produces upwards of 126.000 hits on Google, in connection with weapons it produces 3,330 hits. If you tried it ogether with "weapon fireing", as you wrote, it's not surprising that you didn't get any hits, since it's misspelled.

back edge
This is another suggestion. I got a few hits on google in connection with weaponry, but I can't attest to their validity.
