Civilian ownership of firearms is highly restricted, so public shooting ranges for live ammunition are rare. However, '스크린 사격장' (screen shooting ranges) and airsoft ranges have become popular recreational spots, offering a safe way to experience shooting in an urban environment. These are often found in entertainment districts.
