What is a weapon firing mode?

I am looking at some ship traits that are activated by weapon firing modes. What is that?

Thanks

BOff skills that alter how your weapons fire. Skills like Cannon Rapid Fire, Cannon Scatter Volley, Beam Fire at Will, Beam Overload. Sometimes Specialist Skills like Intel's Surgical Strike.
