Presumably the natural range of the weapon. At elevation, ranges for small
calibre weapons are much longer than the size of typical gunnery ranges used
for direct fire.

A few months ago, cannon rounds from a Bradley hit a school in Southern
Germany. It was several Kilometers from the shooting range. Fortunately, no
one was hurt and the material damage was small.
