What is the maximum dangerous range of handgun ammunition according to The Sporting Arms And Ammunition Manufacturers' Institute?

  1. 1500 yards

  2. 2000 yards

  3. 2500 yards

  4. 3000 yards

The correct answer is: 2500 yards

The maximum dangerous range of handgun ammunition according to The Sporting Arms And Ammunition Manufacturers' Institute is 2500 yards. This means that handgun ammunition is considered to be potentially dangerous and able to cause harm up to a distance of 2500 yards or less. This range is determined by the power and velocity of the ammunition, as well as the type and size of the handgun. Options A, B, and D are incorrect because they all exceed the maximum dangerous range and would therefore be considered impossible or highly unlikely. The maximum dangerous range may also vary depending on other factors such as weather conditions or terrain. It is important to always handle firearms and ammunition responsibly and follow all safety precautions to avoid accidents or injury.
