Correct Answer
B. B. firing dataExplanation
Range cards are a record of firing data. This means that range cards contain information such as the distance, direction, and elevation adjustments required to accurately hit a target. They are used by military personnel, especially snipers, to ensure precise and effective shooting during combat or training exercises. Firing data on range cards helps shooters compensate for factors like wind speed, target movement, and bullet drop, ultimately improving accuracy and increasing the chances of hitting the intended target.Rate this question:

Correct Answer
D. D.level or evenly sloping groundExplanation

Level ground allows for better control and accuracy when aiming at targets. Evenly sloping ground also offers a clear line of sight and minimizes the risk of bullets ricocheting or missing the intended target. On the other hand, searching fire on sloped or hilly ground can be challenging and less effective due to the uneven terrain, which can affect the shooter's stability and accuracy.Rate this question:
