I'm really not so sure that the "urban live fire testing" thing is anything more than fanon - the 55Cs from Ep1 were pretty plainly a distraction for the ADP from the op to make off with Cynthia, and the BU-12B that shot up the Silky Doll was trying to draw out the Sabers, as were the Hyperbuma. Every other time I can think of, the buma involved were either security defending GENOM property or personnel, or stolen by Miriam. Even in ADP Files and Crash, the experimental buma were genuinely rogues, and the ones reprogrammed for assault were working toward specific military objectives. Well, except for the "terrorist buma" from the first few minutes of the Robocop-ripoff ep of APDFiles, but even then it's a presumably a political objective, not weapons testing. Really, the only incident of "testing against the Knight Sabers" was Miriam's orange sensor squad at the beginning of OVA 8.
