31. Various law enforcement agencies in the US have built mock city blocks.

Not so much for "target practice" as for urban combat scenarios, if, for example, you had a group of 10 "militiamen" of whatever color/religion/ideology occupying an area and needing removal.

I'm going to say that this isn't for "target practice" (since most sea battles aren't fought on sand) but to practice boarding and taking a ship.

Or maybe it was somebody's high school science project.
