Only in Sweden. They would NEVER put this kind of shooting range in the U.S.

Not really.

That baffle wall they refer to will prevent a low round…in order to clear the wall, the round will clear the road.

Additionally…having been to a shooting range in Europe…you don’t see the random strikes all over the place like you do in the US…I could speculate as to why, and I’ve got my theories…but I suspect if I give them, this thread is gonna get utterly detailed.

Emphasis on "detailed"? LOL!

Agree. I seen this a fews years ago, you would need to get in front of others out on the range to get a shot to go down towards the vehicles. That would also mean you may be the range accident, as in you're the bullet trap from those behind you.
 
The video, showing them shooting, looked like they were close enough to the concrete edge with down sloping terrain to deflect downward quite a bit. Do they ban off-hand shooting from the standing? What about malfunctions, including malfunctions in ammo? And what if someone shows up with a firearm and/or ammo that range is short enough that falls short of the targets, say the road?

Lots of things to check to ensure a round won't fall on that road, which even if they are checking those things every time, statistically the chances go up, a simple mistake could drop a round on the road, instead of a grass field that everyone is kept off.

Nobody is going to show up with a rifle not capable of the range…they’ve got more responsibility than that.

This is what I was alluding to when I said ranged in Europe are different—because not just anyone can own or shoot a firearm, you just don’t get the morons & donkeyhats like you do here in the US…when you go to a range (or, at least, the range I went to), there’s no random bullet holes in the ceiling, or bench, etc…there is a MUCH higher sense of responsibility, imho.

This is probably the reason the Swiss are more responsible at the range:

"18-30 years of age for compulsory military service for men; 18 years of age for voluntary military service; women may volunteer; every Swiss male has to serve at least 245 days in the armed forces; conscripts receive 18 weeks of mandatory training, followed by six 19-day intermittent recalls for training during the next 10 years (2022)"
 
There is a lot of factors why the Swiss have low levels of firearm issues compared to the US. There's like 19 people who live there total, they all are the same and they have a very high living standard. That's like comparing the Hamptons to all of New York.

You’re wrong on a lot of that (higher standard of living is about the only thing you got right), but go on believing what you want.

I doubt that’s it.

If military service equated to civic responsibility, no veteran would ever commit a crime.

It’s more the entire culture…and when it comes to firearms ownership & use, outside of military service…it’s a privilege (and an easily revoked one at that)—not a right…and is treated as a privilege.

And this is what I meant earlier when I said the thread would get derailed.
