Does Pakistan Army have any International Standard Live Fire Small Arms and Rifle Training Outdoor or Indoor Ranges with auto scoring abilities, pop up targets, moving targets, sheltered firing pits etc? I know that the Army has assorted ranges in the units that have outdated targets using cardboard figurines in which bullet holes are slapped with glue paper & these figurines are held by 'Baans' Poles etc. I have yet to see a state-of-the-art small arms firing range anywhere in the Army in particular and armed forces in general. Am I wrong or right? What say you folks?

As far as Armed Forces go, there's definitely Karsaz Range in Karachi.
And I've heard of a range in Jhelum.
That's all I got, bro.

Navy seems to be the leader in this area....

The Navy Range at Karsaz is a sporting competition indoor/ outdoor range & not a combat training range.

Armed forces generally require custom built marksmanship ranges as per its combat syllabus to judge the efficacy of soldiers on different types of in-service and specialized weapons. Most Pakistan Army ranges at Tillah, Rawalpindi, Panu Aqil, Lahore, Sialkot etc are very antiquated and without any automation.

None of the armed forces at this time have a live fire range of that caliber. Which is a shame really!
