(smooth surface?) -The shoot house will be set up on a smooth surface consisting of 2 foot square rubber floor tiles encapsulated with an epoxy based rubber covering on top of a concrete slab located inside of an existing ballistic space. 2. How many exterior doors will there be? Exterior wall panels will only have cladding on one side. -All interior panels that can be shot require cladding.

AR500 has a Brinell Hardness reading between 460 and 540, is this what you are requiring? -No, the solicitation calls for all AR rated steel shall not have a Brinell Hardness rating of less than 500. Each panel shall not read less than 500 when tested with a Brinell Hardness Tester. 4. Is 26x30 the only size you will accept? 28x28 would work out better for 4 or 8 panels -Slight modifications to dimensions are acceptable 28 X 32 would be preferred to 28 X 28 5. How often are the panels shot at? Do you need to retrieve bullets or is that a function of the steel? -The armored steel panels referenced in the solicitation will be impacted with a high volume of small arms ammunition, up to and including 7.62 mm ball ammunition.
