Live Range Services from Octagon Defence

Octagon are pleased to announce the BDS1 (Ballistic Defence System) is now fully certified. Wiltshire Ballistic Services Ltd carried out tests on Octagon’s ballistic block to determine it’s ability to defeat 7.62x51 mm P80 AP (armour piercing) rounds to EN1 522/1523 threat level and to determine the V50 of the blocks against .50 calibre FSP’s (fragment simulating projectiles) to STANAG 2920. Results can now be found on the Octagon Defence website go to: http://www.octagondefence.com/page10.html

Live Fire Ranges and Shoot-houses

Due to the binding process used in manufacture, the finished blocks keep their elasticity and so remove the sting of live fire without crumbling – improving their longevity. This makes them extremely suitable for live ranges. Most live ranges require a product over 12" thick of binder rubber to encapsulate live fire and fixing a substantial defence wall of this nature can be challenging. The BDS 1’s modular design means no messy, hazardous adhesives, allowing specific target areas to be easily removed and renewed. We also offer adhesive free ricochet matting.

Finally, to ensure the most professional and effective outcomes are achieved, Octagon offers range design and consultancy where required and an end of life recycle service.

We look forward to your enquiry.
