1. Can I mix Ballistics Blocks with my current bullet trap or berm?
Yes. A lot of shooting range owners place ballistic blocks at the base of an existing steel trap or dirt berm to catch ricochets and stop bullet splash. The rubber slows down stray rounds that bounce off harder surfaces.
2. How many ballistic blocks do I need?
That depends on what you're building. A full HomeFront wall uses 12 blocks. A smaller wall uses 7. For ricochet control at the base of a trap, even 2 or 3 blocks help. Send us your space and goals and we'll suggest a number.
3. Will the ballistic block catch fire when shot?
No. The SBR rubber and binders are made to handle live fire without catching fire. The block stays cool under normal range use.
4. How do I know when a ballistic block needs replacing?
Check the front face for deep holes, soft spots, or visible bullet fragments. If you see daylight through the block or the rubber starts to crumble, it's time to swap it out. Most blocks last up to 40,000 rounds with normal use.
