  • Patent number: 6162057
    Abstract: A lightweight, movable shooting range for use with frangible ammunition. Much lighter weight, hardened alloy ceilings, floors and side walls may be used over the majority of the internal shooting area, thereby substantially lightening the total weight of the trailer. The mobile shooting range includes a shooting impact area at one end with sufficient armor plate to absorb any frangible ammunition being fired into an absorbing material mounted in the front of the impact area. At the other or forward end of the trailer, a control booth contains electronic controls and equipment to allow a range operator to monitor the shooting performance of any person shooting from shooting stalls mounted within the trailer. Appropriate fans and filters are provided to prevent any smoke, or the like, from collecting within the trailer, and air conditioning or other climate control means may be provided to control the interior temperature thereof.
