What type of small arms SDZ should be used when developing SDZs for ranges that will have fire and movement or where ricochet hazards may endanger non-participating personnel?

The Batwing SDZ is specifically designed to address both fire and movement training scenarios as well as to mitigate ricochet hazards that could endanger non-participating personnel. This SDZ shape extends protection in a broader area compared to other designs, allowing for greater safety margins during live-fire exercises.

The unique batwing configuration assists in managing potential risks associated with ricochets, which are a concern when live ammunition is used at varying angles and in dynamic training environments. It provides an expanded zone for safety, ensuring that all non-participants are kept at a safe distance from potential dangers.

In contrast, other SDZ types like Box, Linear, or Tapered serve different purposes. For instance, the Box SDZ is generally used for static firing positions but does not adequately address the complexities of dynamic movement training. Linear SDZs are often employed for straight, linear firing lines without the complexities of lateral movement, while Tapered SDZs primarily focus on minimizing lateral dispersion but may not offer comprehensive protection in active training scenarios involving movement. Thus, the Batwing SDZ is the appropriate choice for ranges where the risk of ricochet and the need for movement are critical factors.
