Shooting ranges and defence-security facilities

Indoor shooting range and defence-security facility construction

In indoor shooting ranges we install everything from moving and electronic target systems to bullet-resistant cladding, ceiling baffles and ventilation. 50 m and 100 m ranges in Bishkek.

What is this service?

An indoor shooting range is a technical facility more than an ordinary building. Walls and ceiling must stop rounds safely, prevent ricochets and limit noise; ventilation must remove the smoke and particles produced while firing; and target systems must move to match training scenarios and record hits.

DEMAFT builds both the structure and all of these technical systems. We can fully fit out the inside of an existing shell, or build a range from groundbreaking.

Indoor shooting range and defence-security facility construction

Which problems does it solve?

  • 01

    Structure, ballistic cladding and target systems installed by different firms that do not fit together.

  • 02

    Wall and ceiling solutions that are not adequate against ricochets and penetration.

  • 03

    Smoke and particles building up on the firing line; inadequate ventilation.

  • 04

    Firing noise spreading to the surroundings.

  • 05

    The need for moving targets and hit recording that match training scenarios.

How is it carried out?

First the purpose of the range, the shooting distance, the number of lanes and the weapon types are defined; ballistic cladding, bullet traps and ventilation are selected on this basis. Target systems are chosen for the training scenarios: ceiling-mounted travelling targets, lateral moving targets and pop-up targets, plus an electronic target and scoring system.

On site, structure, cladding, mechanical services and target systems follow one programme. Once the shooting booths, control room and lighting are complete, the systems are tested together and the facility is handed over.

Which phases does it cover?

  1. 01

    Requirements and design

    Shooting distance, number of lanes, weapon types and training scenarios.

  2. 02

    Structure

    The frame and shell for a new range; structural adjustments in an existing building.

  3. 03

    Ballistic protection

    Bullet-resistant wall cladding, ceiling baffles and the bullet trap.

  4. 04

    Acoustics and ventilation

    Acoustic insulation, ventilation and fume extraction.

  5. 05

    Target and scoring systems

    Moving and pop-up targets, electronic target and scoring system.

  6. 06

    Booths, control room and handover

    Shooting booths, control room, lighting, system tests and handover.

What you gain

  • Structure and technical systems come from one contractor and work together.
  • Ballistic cladding, bullet trap and ceiling baffles are planned as one system.
  • Target systems are chosen for your training scenarios.
  • Ventilation and acoustics are part of the design from the start.
  • An existing building or a new facility from the ground up, with the same scope.
DEMAFT

How DEMAFT runs it

We built two indoor shooting ranges in Bishkek. In the 50 m range we fully fitted out an existing shell; in the 100 m range we took on all works from groundbreaking, including structure and finishes. In both we installed ceiling-mounted travelling, lateral moving and pop-up targets, an electronic target and scoring system, bullet-resistant wall cladding, ceiling baffles, a bullet trap, acoustic insulation, ventilation and fume extraction, shooting booths, a control room and lighting.

Technical facility know-how is one of DEMAFT’s strengths: we know and install the complete set-up, from target systems to ballistic cladding.

Frequently asked questions

Can you convert an existing building into a shooting range?

Yes. In the 50 m range in Bishkek we fully fitted out an existing shell with target systems, ballistic cladding, ventilation and booths.

Which target systems do you install?

Ceiling-mounted travelling targets, lateral moving targets, pop-up targets, and an electronic target and scoring system.

How is the range made safe?

Bullet-resistant wall cladding, ceiling baffles and the bullet trap are planned together; smoke produced while firing is removed by ventilation and fume extraction.
