A flat scissors maneuver typically results when two fighters of similar capability encounter each other at similar speeds and in the same plane of motion, and the attacking fighter has failed to press an initial positional and angular advantage into a kill, and has "overshot", or passed behind the defender.

Diagram of a basic wingover A wingover is a maneuver used to provide a fast, 180 degree turn with a very small turn radius. It consists of a quarter loop into a vertical climb, letting the speed fall as altitude increases, and then a flat-turn over the top, diving to complete a quarter loop at the original altitude, but going in the opposite ...
Scissors cut material by applying at the cutting location a local shear stress which exceeds the material's shear strength. Some scissors have an appendage, called a finger brace or finger tang, below the index finger hole for the middle finger to rest on to provide for better control and more power in precision cutting.

A scissors mechanism uses linked, folding supports in a criss-cross 'X' pattern. [1] The scissor mechanism is a mechanical linkage system used to create vertical motion or extension. It consists of a series of interconnected, folding supports that resemble the shape of a pair of scissors, hence its name.
As straight-bladed Mayo scissors are also used for cutting sutures, they are also referred to as "suture scissors". Curved-bladed Mayo scissors allow deeper penetration into the wound than the type with straight blades. The curved style of Mayo scissor is used to cut thick tissues such as those found in the uterus, muscles, breast, and foot.
