A
bombing range is an area used for testing explosive
ordnance and practicing to accurately direct them to the target. Bombing ranges are used for
munitions that either explode or produce too much destruction to use at a
shooting range, such as
kinetic energy penetrators or very large
caliber bullets. Bombing ranges are usually used by highly organized
military organizations.
Terrorists and
rebels are likely to test weapons where most convenient and not use a strictly defined area because the
explosions attract attention and long-term safety is not a consideration.
