CORRECT ANSWERS
◉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. Answer: The areas around, behind, and the actual
target where a projectile may impact
◉Impact Media effects. Answer: Differences in composition between
impact media result in different deflection characteristics.
◉When will SDZs be modified. Answer: when your training involves
multiple targets, multiple firing points or moving targets
