Presumably the natural range of the weapon. At elevation, ranges for 
small calibre weapons are much longer than the size of typical gunnery 
ranges used for direct fire. 

A few months ago, cannon rounds from a Bradley hit a school in Southern 
Germany. It was several Kilometers from the shooting range. 
Fortunately, no one was hurt and the material damage was small.
