RANGE SAFETY COURSE COMPREHENSIVE
EXAMINATION PAPER 2026 QUESTIONS
SOLUTIONS VERIFIED A+
◉ batwing SDZ
Answer: provides greater containment of ricochets
◉ When should the batwing SDZ be used
Answer: designing or conducting training that involves fire and
movement, fire and maneuver, flanking fire, or when ricochet
hazards outside the range complex boundary may endanger
nonparticipating personnel.
◉ Distance Y
Answer: is the maximum distance downrange at which lateral
ricochet is expected to occur when a projectile is fired at a given
quadrant elevation.
◉ Angle P
Answer: defines the area beginning at the firing point, located to the
left and right of the dispersion area, which contains projectiles after
making initial contact with the target medium.
, ◉ Angle Q
Answer: defines the area beginning at distance Y, located to the left
and right of the dispersion area, which contains projectiles after
making initial contact with the target medium.
◉ Distance W
Answer: is the maximum lateral distance a projectile will ricochet
after impacting within the dispersion area. Distance W defines the
maximum lateral edge of the ricochet area.
◉ The Ricochet Area
Answer: is the area to the left and right of the dispersion area that
contains projectiles after making initial contact with the target
medium
◉ SDZ with exploding projectiles
Answer: SDZs are increased to account for fragments and debris
from explosions.
◉ DPAM ammo properties
Answer: Table 4-1 - 4-23 for ammo and properties of X, Y, etc
◉ Impact Media
