What is the impact of a narrow beaten zone at short ranges due to uniform terrain?

A narrow beaten zone at short ranges, especially in uniform terrain, results in a narrower dispersion of rounds. This reflects the concentrated area where the bullets are likely to impact. When fire is directed at a target within this range, the projectiles tend to group more closely together, enhancing the likelihood of hitting the target effectively. The consistency of the terrain minimizes factors that might cause deviation in bullet trajectory, allowing for better control and accuracy within that narrow beaten zone. Therefore, when engaging targets at close distance in uniform terrain conditions, the narrow beaten zone enables operators to achieve more precise hits and effective coverage of the intended target area, making the narrower dispersion advantageous in tactical situations.
