“Yesterday I visited the Range and talked with Sgt. Paternoster… He had nothing but good things to say about you and the way the range is operating. From the maintenance side of the house, I want to thank you for the training you provided to our team here. I also would like to thank you for the “Open” door to contact you in case we ever have a problem that we can’t resolve.”

Action Target delivers two CQB platforms: MATCH™ for live fire with ballistic, zero-SDZ containment, and TAC House™ for marking-cartridge (Simunition®-type) rounds with fast-assembling non-ballistic walls. Each mirrors real-world structures so you can train the buildings you actually face with the platform that fits your program.
Through-hardened, steel-core wall panels use a zero-SDZ design and engineered ventilation to contain fragmentation and maintain a safe live-fire environment.
Panels stack compactly, ship in a single 20-foot container, and assemble without welding—reducing logistics and setup time.
Connects with central range control software for instructor observation, after action review, and additional immersive features.
Six- and nine-inch thick panels form realistic room shapes, closets, hallways, and hidden areas to mirror target environments.
Sliding ballistic panels change room geometry and paths quickly while maintaining zero SDZ for live fire.
Configurable up to three levels for sniper angles, stairway clearance, and balcony engagements.
Build scalable villages by linking multiple MATCH™ Shoot Houses with varied footprints and elevations to mirror real urban density—alleys, intersections, and courtyards.
Support the full mission thread—approach, breach, clear, hold, and hand-off—with dedicated space for instructor oversight.
Enable simultaneous, deconflicted training lanes or synchronized blue/red events with positive control.
Non-ballistic, solid-wall structures support reconfigurable CQB evolutions using converted duty weapons.
Modular kits assemble with a 5/16″ hex wrench; interlocking panels deliver stability and precise fit.
Ships on standard pallets; outdoor panels withstand rain, humidity, and winds up to 40 mph for rapid deployment.
Together, Action Target and CoverSix introduced the ARCAS Modular Range; consisting of three configurations to meet the industry’s needs. Factory-built and purpose-designed, ARCAS delivers indoor, rifle-rated live-fire training anywhere—scalable from a single bay to multi-lane complexes, with robust ventilation, sound treatment, and fully integrated range management controls.
Configure for 7–100 m training distances and multi-lane layouts without interior support columns to block sightlines.
Purpose-built structures designed for durability and longevity in a live-fire environment.
Expand with classrooms, control rooms, lockers, and other support spaces as the mission set grows.
Completely manufactured off-site for fast setup and easy relocation or re-basing.
Designs available that meet DoD UFC 4-179-02 and USAF ETL 11-18 criteria for indoor small-arms ranges.

Instant cold/hot commands and emergency halts maintain positive control.
Tie into ventilation/HVAC for airflow presets matched to firing tempo and occupancy.
Remote diagnostics, alerts, and software updates reduce downtime and service calls.
Open integrations with Action Target systems ensure seamless expansion as your range evolves.
Engineered to handle sustained rifle, pistol, and crew-served fire, our containment systems protect personnel and infrastructure while minimizing maintenance. Designed for high-volume operations, they control splashback, capture lead, and simplify range turnover so training stays on schedule.
Armored deflection plates drive rounds into the integrated Vortex™ chamber for controlled energy dissipation—reducing splash and airborne lead during sustained fire.
Bullet Collection Systems (BCS): Interfaces below the Vortex chamber with options including 3.5-gal canisters, the Deluxe 20 (20-gal roll-out drums), and a screw-conveyor to 55-gal drums for higher-volume ranges.
Modular deceleration chamber, dust collection unit, and access panels simplify inspection, service, and compliant lead handling.
A rubber-granule berm that safely captures rounds; its lower initial investment makes it an effective solution when matched to your unit’s weapons and throughput.
Galvanized, self-supporting frame (IBC-designed) with a patented fin system maintains consistent rubber depth; optional AR-steel sidewalls and overhead baffles add protection.
Optional Flame Lock™ treatment delivers Class A ASTM fire ratings; clean, quiet operation with harvested rubber media and an optional .50 BMG rating.
Ceiling and wall baffles intercept high-angle and lateral rounds for full containment—enabling safe, movement-based tactical training.
Specified spacing and materials (e.g., AR-steel panels and energy-absorbing media) control impact angles, reduce ricochet, and drive rounds into designated traps.
Preserve instructor, shooter, and structural safety to sustain continuous, high-tempo training without compromising the facility.
Protective sidewalls, controlled lanes, and clearing traps enforce safe shooter flow.
Ballistic path modeling sets safe standoffs, ingress/egress, and vehicle-integrated lanes.
Ventilation tie-ins and maintenance access points simplify lead mitigation and routine service.
Clean air and controlled noise are mission-critical for safe, effective training. Integrated HVAC, filtration, and acoustics protect health, sustain instructor performance, and keep ranges compliant under high-tempo use.
Ceiling-mounted delivery creates laminar flow and negative pressure to draw contaminants downrange into the trap and filtration system.
Purge or recirculation systems with heating/cooling maintain required air speed and pressure in all conditions.
Multi-stage filtration meets OSHA/EPA/NIOSH requirements to protect personnel and adjacent spaces.
SmartRange AXIS™ displays real-time filter life, system pressures, and fan status in one interface.
Alerts and remote diagnostics enable condition-based service and faster recovery from faults.
Trend logs support audits and help justify sustainment budgets.
Low-profile wall and ceiling baffle fascia cut reverberation for clear commands and lower fatigue.
Systems are designed to meet UFC, OSHA, DoD, and NIOSH guidance for indoor ranges.
AXIS integration streamlines inspections with documented settings, alerts, and service history.
