"Fort Bragg is home to more troops than anywhere else in the U.S. military, and its vast training areas are used every day of the year.

But until recently, local soldiers couldn't qualify on their biggest weapons without first getting a waiver.

A new multipurpose machine gun range, known as Range 66A, changes that.

The sprawling facility, with nearly 150 targets ranging from as close as the length of a football field to nearly a mile away, opened in September...."

Looks like it would be nice to shoot there. Like the target system.
