Few man made objects are as over-built as our 360° shooting houses.
Maybe a tank or a battleship, but not much else. Besides being indestructible,
our unconventional use of steel plating lets
multiple live-fire teams operate simultaneously
in different rooms, without rounds fired by one team reaching the others. This unique overlapping steel-bolted-to-steel
design eliminates gaps and contains every ounce of splatter wherever the shooting takes place. The same goes for doors
and windows, which can be made bullet-proof. Customize the interior with hallways, offices,
bedrooms, bathrooms - anything that helps simulate an operational setting. Once erected, you can install pneumatic
targets or running man systems to create the most realistic instructional environment possible. Its modular design even
provides the option of changing the floor plan in the future, or if needed, moving the facility to a different location.
Not bad, considering these houses are put together better than many permanent structures, not to mention most tanks.

INTERIOR WALLS
Except for the seams, they're identical to the exterior walls. Here the seams are covered both front and back with 2" x 4"s and plywood. When a bullet strikes a wall, it penetrates the plywood and disintegrates against the steel where the fragments are trapped. When an area of plywood is shot out, simply replace the sheet or nail a new one in place. And as if this weren't enough, we added another 2" x 4" across the middle of each wall to prevent the plywood sections from warping, and another across the top and the bottom for additional safety.
