Table 6–3 Multi- role anti-armor antipersonnel weapon systems surface danger zone criteria, in meters—Continued Type Distance X Minimum range Ricochet Area A Area B Area F 2 Area F 4 to impact 1 angle (deg) danger area 3 caution area 7.62mm 6 4,100 N/A 5 100 N/A N/A N/A Legend for Table 6-3: HE=high explosive HEAT=high explosive anti-tank HEDP=high explosive dual purpose N/A=not applicable TP=target practice Notes: 1 May be reduced 60 percent when firing non-explosive projectiles from unprotected firing positions or explosive projectiles from protected positions. 2 Area F is a 90 degree angle (45 degrees left and right) of rearward extension of launcher target line. 3 Danger area occupation could result in fatalities or serious casualties, including severe burns or permanent hearing loss. The hazards are base plate frag- ments, debris, fireball, high noise levels, and overpressure. 4 Caution area is an extension of the primary danger zone. Occupation of this area could also result in severe casualties due to back blast, debris, high noise levels, eye injuries, and possible base plate fragments. Primary danger area and caution area are conditions that may not be modified. 5 Not a direct-fire round. Use figure 6–3 to construct SDZ. 6 Use SDZ data from chapter 4. 58 DA PAM 385–63 • 16 April 2014
