FIRE
Live-fire environments
Ballistic wall assemblies for range envelopes, protective walls and selected baffle conditions—designed around the complete ISAR requirement.
ArmorBlock Modular Systems
One protective architecture. Every ISAR zone.
ArmorBlock brings live-fire areas, weapons movement corridors, staging rooms and secure storage into one cohesive facility strategy—modular enough for new construction, retrofit and phased modernization.

01
Facility Capability
ArmorBlock is infrastructure—not an accessory added to the range.
An ISAR is more than a firing bay. Weapons and personnel move through controlled corridors, ready areas, staging spaces and secure storage before and after every training event.
ArmorBlock allows those spaces to be planned as one protective environment. The same CMU-based system can support the firing envelope and continue into adjacent mission spaces, reducing unnecessary transitions between unrelated wall technologies.
Start with the operating flow. Build protection around the entire mission.
02
One System Across the Plan
Fire. Move. Stage. Store.
Each zone serves a different operational purpose. ArmorBlock provides a common protective wall platform that ties them together.
02
MOVE
Weapons movement
Hardened circulation paths and controlled transitions that extend protection beyond the firing line and through the operating flow.
03
STAGE
Ready + staging areas
Durable rooms for issue, return, equipment preparation and team staging—built within the same protective architectural logic.
04
STORE
Armories + secure storage
Hardened enclosures for controlled storage spaces, equipment rooms and other mission-sensitive adjacencies.
Engineered Protection. Familiar Method.
Translate the protective requirement into buildable masonry.
ArmorBlock uses configured concrete masonry units, reinforcing steel and Amidon Shield fill to create a hardened wall assembly. It gives architects, engineers and contractors a practical path from facility requirements to field construction.
- Conventional masonry sequencing
- Modular wall geometry and openings
- New construction and retrofit applications
- Project-specific wall assembly design

The Facility Advantage
A common wall system changes the planning conversation.
Instead of solving each room independently, the team can organize protection, construction and future change around a shared system.
01
One architectural language
Carry a common CMU-based protective system across firing and non-firing zones instead of changing wall technologies at every boundary.
02
New build or retrofit
Use ArmorBlock in purpose-built ranges, adaptive reuse projects, targeted upgrades and facility expansions.
03
Phaseable modernization
Define protective zones by priority so work can follow funding, access windows and operational requirements.
04
Familiar construction
Configured CMUs, reinforcing steel and Shield fill translate engineered protection into a construction method masonry teams understand.
05
Lifecycle practicality
Concrete masonry provides durable interior infrastructure with familiar inspection, maintenance and modification pathways.
06
Future-ready layouts
Plan additions, new rooms and revised movement paths without committing the entire facility to a one-time custom wall package.
Adaptive Reuse + Phased Upgrades
Modernize the facility without surrendering the building.
ArmorBlock is particularly valuable when the mission has outgrown the original floor plan. Protective corridors, ready rooms and storage areas can be introduced within an existing structure or added in deliberate phases as funding and access allow.
01
Target the operational gap. Add protection where personnel and weapons actually move.
02
Work in planned phases. Sequence construction around mission schedules and capital availability.
03
Preserve future options. Plan additions and revised adjacencies as requirements change.
04
From Requirement to Facility
Design the operating system before building the walls.
A successful ISAR begins with movement, control and training requirements—not a block count.
01
Map the mission flow
Trace personnel, weapons, equipment and controlled access from entry through firing, staging, return and storage.
02
Define protective zones
Translate ballistic, security, structural and operational requirements into a coordinated wall and opening plan.
03
Coordinate the range
Resolve ArmorBlock interfaces with doors, penetrations, traps, ventilation, acoustics, targets, utilities and life-safety systems.
04
Build + fill
Install the reinforced CMU assembly using a controlled sequence and fill it with Amidon Shield as defined by the project design.
05
Verify + hand over
Complete project-specific documentation, inspections and commissioning so the facility enters service with a clear operating baseline.
Complete-Range Coordination
The protective wall platform must work with everything around it.
ArmorBlock establishes the hardened architectural framework. Amidon coordinates that framework with the remaining ISAR systems so openings, penetrations, access points and equipment interfaces are resolved deliberately.
Bullet containment + traps
Ventilation + air management
Acoustic control
Target + control systems
Doors + access control
Lighting, power + data
Fire + life safety
Observation + AAR
