Instrumented Small Arms Range (Position 5)

Small Arms
  • Instrumented range is used to conduct precision accuracy firings and general small arms tests. The open-ended, 60-foot (18-meter) wide cover serves to prevent wind effects during firing; the remainder of the range is a narrow slot through tree cover, which minimizes atmospheric effects to a total range of 3000 meters
  • Range enclosed to 300 meters; open to 3000 meters
  • Instrumented for pressure, velocity, and action time
  • Acoustic scoring system operates with single-shot and burst firings
  • Instrumentation allows placement of acoustic transducers at target distances up to 3000 meters
  • Instrumentation for other ballistic data; video and toxic fumes available
