Law Enforcement - Ballistic Protection

MDS Caswell has five areas of ballistic protection for handgun or rifle training systems. They include Combat Walls, Floor Covering SRP, Redirective Guards, Safety Ceilings, and Safety Baffles.

Specs CAD Details

Combat Walls

Meggitt Defense Systems Caswell Combat Walls

Tactical training drills often require the shooter to advance downrange to engage targets at close range or to fire at multiple targets at angled fire. In these situations, bullet ricochet and backsplatter from rounds striking the side walls of the range can be a safety concern. MDS Caswell’s Combat Wall Panel System will minimize this danger by stopping and capturing rounds that impact the walls.

Flooring Covering SRP

The Standard Rubber Paver (SRP) floor covering provides ballistic protection from errant rounds striking concrete floors. A bullet striking concrete will normally produce backsplatter and may be dangerously redirected in the shooting area. A round hitting the SRP flooring will be stopped and contained inside the rubber material.

Redirective Guards

When a range has a flat, slab ceiling, steel guards can often be used in place of air-space baffles. The angled steel guards protect all downrange protuberances such as light fixtures, conduit, and ducts from impact and will deflect bullets in the direction of the trap.

Safety Ceilings

The area extending from the firing line to 12 feet downrange is one of the most critical areas in a range where a misdirected shot could compromise shooters safety. Our ceiling system reduces the risk of injury or damage from a vertically misdirected shot by stopping the path of the round and trapping it in an air-space panel.

Safety Baffles

A series of angled air-space baffles are often required to protect the ceiling, lights, ducts, pipes, and range equipment downrange. The baffles are suspended from the ceiling at a 30° angle to the floor in intervals determined by ceiling height, range length and shooting activity. Load weight computations and suggested baffle placements are provided to the range planner as a part of our drawing package.

Sound Control

Meggitt Defense Systems Caswell Lasw Enforement<BR>Sound Control
click to enlarge
There are two primary noise considerations in a shooting range; lowering the sound level within the range and preventing the transmission of noise outside of the range. Acoustical applications are of some benefit to lowering the noise level. The walls from twelve feet forward of the firing line to the back wall should be covered with acoustical material. In addition, the horizontal ceiling above the firing line and the front surface of downrange baffles should also be treated.

Law Enforcement
Target Systems

MDS Caswell has a Pneumatic, Electro-Mechanical, and an Overhead Retrieval Target Systems. The type of shooting activity planned will determine the appropriate target system for the range. Law enforcement or advanced training typically requires turning targets for timed fire and reactive skill course.

Military

MDS Caswell offers live fire training targets and accessories for both the combined arms and Military Training on Urban Terrain (MOUT) for the Military markets. All of MDS Caswell’s targets are reliable, flexible, and cost efficient. These targets are man-portable and suitable for permanent or temporary installations. In addition, the targets use electromechanical actuators along with hydraulics or pneumatics to ensure reliability and environmental safeguards.

There is an assortment of different targets that are available to the Military market. Whether the training requires small arms or an Army tank, MDS Caswell will supply the required and desired training equipment.

Mobile Range

The MDS Caswell Road Range provides a cost-effective and timely solution for acquiring a firearms facility that permits firearms training, qualification, weapons function testing, and more. The Road Range is inexpensive and can be acquired quickly so you will be able to start training in a very short time. No real estate hassles, building permits, architect plans, or other time consuming steps. The Road Range is a great value and has proven to be an important tool in firearms training for the law enforcement community.

The Road Range is a fully equipped firearms training facility in a trailer. It contains all the desirable features of an indoor range and is easily transported for use at dispersed sites or parked in a convenient location. It provides a firearms facility to utilize when and where you need it.

The mobility of our Road Range will help to eliminate overtime costs and allow training schedules to be more flexible. Your firearms training program can be accomplished efficiently and thoroughly. Qualification testing can be conducted more frequently. The result is better trained - better prepared personnel.

Specs

Mobile - Ballistic Protection

MDS Caswell has designed secure ballistic protection for our Road Range training systems. The ballistic panels give the rangemaster and shooters protection from the hazard of a misdirected, ricocheted or back-splattered shot. To provide the protection, the trailer’s interior is lined with thermal insulating materials and then covered with ballistiplate steel.

Bullet Traps
Reclining Grantrap

The Road Range is equipped with the Reclining GranTrap, a granular rubber bullet trap that captures rounds virtually intact. By keeping bullets intact, the range environment is cleaner and safer, lead removal is simplified and ventilation air filters last several times longer than with conventional bullet containment systems.

Mobile - Communications

The audio system allows the range operator to communicate with the shooters and the ballistic glass window provides the operator with a visual view of the firing line and range.

Mobile - Controls

A separate control room puts everything at the range operator's fingertips. An audio system allows the range operator to communicate with the shooters and the ballistic glass window provides the operator with a visual view of the firing line and range. Controls for the target system, firing line security system, target and general lighting, ventilation systems, and generator, are all easily accessible to the range operator.

HEPA Ventilation System

The ventilation system is a 100% outside air system or purge system. The supply fans mechanically draw in 100% outside air via an intake louver located at the highest point on the exterior of the road range. The outside air or supply air is then transformed into laminar airflow at the firing line via a state of the art double wall perforated airwall and airdoor. The supply air is then mechanically drawn down range and transferred near the bullet trap via a floor mounted exhaust grille into the exhaust filter housing. The Road Range exhaust air is filtered through 2-stages of filtration with a final stage of 99.997% HEPA filtration before being safely discharged to the outdoors.

Mobile - Shooting Stalls

Phoenix™ The Phoenix™ full-view shooting stall organizes the firing line into three defined shooting positions and provides a location for mounting individual shooter controls. The clear ballistic panel gives the rangemaster and shooters an unobstructed view of the firing line while also providing protection from the hazard of a misdirected shot. The Phoenix shooting stall also features an acoustical blast shield to help isolate muzzle blast from adjacent shooters, a shooters shelf with a recessed area for holding ammunition, a spent brass receptacle and a gate barricade to simulate shooting around obstructions. Phoenix Shooting Stalls are a standard feature on the Road Range III model.

Mobile - Sound & Insulation

The trailer's interior is lined with thermal insulating materials and then covered with ballistic plate steel. Acoustical material is applied to the walls and ceiling for sound absorption and the floor is finished with shredded rubber floor panels. This method of construction provides complete ballistic security and maximum noise reduction.

Mobile - Target System

CasRail RTS The CasRail RTS is a 360 degree bi-directional turning target system that comes standard in the Road Range. The target may be exposed in either direction to provide friend/foe target presentations for reactive response and judgmental training. The new random edging, random turning feature allows the instructor the ability to either choose the target presentation or allow the computer to decide. This greatly enhances the tactical training as the students will no longer be able to anticipate target presentation.

Mobile - Trailers

We begin the construction of a Road Range with an over-the-road trailer from one of several nationally recognized manufacturers. The trailer is 8.5' wide and is available in 48 and 53-foot lengths and transporting the Road Range is not a concern as it meets all DOT regulations for use on unrestricted roads.

Mobile - Options

The trailer's options include Genset, Gun Safe, HEPA Vacuum, IR Heat,and a Storage Box.
