| | 2.7 | BALLISTIC RUBBER PROTECTION MATERIAL |
| | ** NOTE TO SPECIFIER ** Range Systems Dura-Panel™ and Dura-Bloc™ do not stop live rounds or bullets. As part of a ballistic system they encapsulate rounds and prevent ricochet from trajectory angles as shallow as 12 degrees from the rubber surface. When used in a proper system, Dura-Panel and Dura-Bloc will absorb bullets and fragments and preclude ricochets from being directed back towards the shooter. The ballistic rubber alone does not stop or defeat the round. |

| | | A. | Product: Dura-Panel as manufactured by Range Systems. NSN: 9320-01-565-6156. Provides anti-ricochet protection at indoor and outdoor ranges when used as part of the Encapsulator system. Made of patented rubber composite. Each panel measures 24 inches by 24 inches by 2 inches (610 mm by 610 mm by 51 mm) and weighs 34 lb (15.4 kg). Dura-Panel™ is designed to prevent ricochet and splatter of standard pistol and rifle rounds up to .308 / 7.62 mm. Dura-Panel can be applied directly to steel, concrete or plywood using an industrial adhesive. Each panel will take approximately 2200 rounds before replacement is required depending on bullet type and distribution of wear. |

| | | B. | Product: Super Dura-Panel as manufactured by Range Systems. 48 inches by 24 inches by 2 inches (1220 mm by 610 mm by 51 mm) 70 lb (31.7 kg). |
| |
| | | C. | Product: Dura-Panel EXP as manufactured by Range Systems. Same properties as the Dura-Panel with added low volume tracer extinguishing properties. |
| |
| | | D. | Product: Acoustic Dura-Panel™ as manufactured by Range Systems. Acoustic Dura-Panel™ is an effective noise control measure for indoor firing ranges. The channeled exterior finish disrupts sound wave patterns so they quickly dissipate resulting in a reduction of reverberation and its rubber composition assists with noise abatement by absorbing airborne sounds. Total weight: 34 lb (15.4 kg). 24 inches by 24 inches by 2 inches (610 mm by 610 mm by 51 mm) To be used with the Encapsulator™ system. NRC rated. The NRC for the Acoustic Dura-Panel is .65 eliminating 65 percent of all noise it comes in contact with. Acoustic Dura-Panels can be applied directly to steel, concrete or plywood using an industrial adhesive. Each panel will take approximately 2200 rounds before replacement is required depending on bullet type and distribution of wear. |
| |
| | | E. | Product: Acoustic Dura-Panel EXP as manufactured by Range Systems. Same properties as the Acoustic Dura-Panel with added low volume tracer extinguishing properties |
| | ** NOTE TO SPECIFIER ** It is important to note that Dura-Blocs are not bullet proof and require a ballistic backdrop (or sufficient clearance zone) to ensure any rounds that penetrate the bloc are contained. Dura-Blocs can take 3000 to over 10,000 rounds per bloc depending on bullet type and distribution of wear. Delete product not required by design. |
| |
| | | F. | Product: Dura-Bloc as manufactured by Range Systems. NSN: 9320-01-565-6471. Made of patented rubber composite. Designed to encapsulate ammunition up to 7.62 caliber. Reduces airborne lead.
