On ranges that do not permit cross-range firing, what markers will be used?

The use of internal left and right limit of fire markers is essential on ranges that do not allow cross-range firing, as these markers clearly define the safe limits within which personnel can engage targets. By establishing boundaries that indicate the permissible firing zones, these markers help maintain safety and ensure that all firing is directed toward the intended target area. This minimizes the risk of accidental injury or damage that could occur if rounds were to stray outside the designated firing range.

In contrast, external boundary markers are meant to outline the entire range periphery, rather than specifically controlling the firing direction. Visual-only markers serve primarily as additional indicators but may not provide the necessary level of control needed to prevent cross-range firing. Similarly, thermal signature markers are specialized and less relevant for general range safety purposes where traditional firing limitations are in place. Thus, internal left and right limit of fire markers are specifically designed to prevent cross-range firing and ensure that all shots are contained within a safe and controlled area.
