August 2003 Inter-service Resident Range Safety Course (Intermediate) Version: August 2003 SDZ Construction: M242 25mm Gun SDZ Construction:M242 25mm Gun Constructing a 25mm SDZ Construct 25mm system SDZ for the M242 25mm gun firing the M792 (HEI-T) cartridge into armor. Dimensions of the SDZ for this weapon system are given in DA-PAM 385-63, Chapter 12, Table 12-5. Plot the firing point, target, and then establish the gun target line. Plot the firing point. From Table 12-5, find Distance X (armor). * * Inter-service Resident Range Safety Course (Intermediate) M2A3 Bradley Fighting Vehicle Marine Corps Light Armored Vehicle (LAV) with the M242 25mm gun M242 25mm Gun 25mm Ammunition M792HEI-T M791APDS-T M793TP-T M794 M910 Area B: Area A: Map Sheet: Map Scale: Map Edition: Name: Date: Map Series: Distance W: Angle P: Distance X: Impact Media: Ammo Type: Weapon: Legend for 25mm Systems Establish the gun target line. Plot the target. Distance X = 6379m Annotate Distance X on the legend. At the firing point, measure 5° with a protractor from the left and right of the gun target line. 5° (? 6400m) Distance X Draw tic marks as shown. To establish the Dispersion Area, draw a straight line from the firing position through each tic mark out to Distance X. This completes the Dispersion Area. 5° Dispersion Area Distance X For the Ricochet Area, on Table 12-5, find the measurement for Distance W (armor). Lightly draw lines perpendicular to the limits of the Dispersion Area. Distance W = (? 1400m) Dispersion Area 1373m Distance X Draw tic marks at the measurement for Distance W on the lines just drawn. Dispersion Area Draw a straight line through the tic marks. On Table 12-5, find the measure-ment for Angle P. Angle P = 28° P P Distance X Draw tic marks. At the firing point, measure 28° from the left and right limits of the Dispersion Area to establish the Ricochet Area. Dispersion Area 28° P P Distance X This completes the Ricochet Area.
