artillery range
Heavy weapons facility
An artillery range is a military facility where large weapons like cannons, howitzers, and rockets are test-fired and troops practice gunnery.
These ranges require vast areas—often thousands of acres—to accommodate the long distances projectiles travel.
Artillery range also refers to the maximum distance a given weapon can fire: The new howitzer has an artillery range of thirty kilometers.
