Close quarter training with Ballistic Blocks
Cumberland Rubber Supply (CRS) is revolutionizing the shooting range industry with its cutting-edge compounds and designs. Their ballistic rubber blocks are not only some of the longest-lasting in the anti-ricochet industry, but they are also pushing the boundaries of new functionality. CRS builds high-end parts that ultimately save their customers more money in the long run than opting for cheaper options upfront.
CRS specializes in large geometric rubber parts, specifically designed for high-impact industries such as shooting ranges. Our expertise in modifying and designing rubber compounds allows us to create products that excel in specific applications. Our ballistic blocks, for example, are engineered to provide safe live fire environments in gun ranges. Through extensive research and development, we have improved the rubber’s ability to self-heal, increased its lifespan, and enhanced its overall performance.
As a result, shooting ranges are switching from traditional “cold-pressed” ballistic products to CRS High-Density blocks and panels. The founders of CRS are so confident in their products that they openly challenge anyone to a side-by-side test. Additionally, CRS offers custom parts with hybrid elements in the designs. For example, the Titan Ballistic line is an industry-changing group of products.
CRS has seen significant growth, doubling revenue each year. This is due to range managers seeking less replacement and downtime, and improved longer-lasting performance that CRS products offer. Additionally, industry innovation is bringing about copious improvements in designs that have not changed in decades.
Ballistic blocks are used for anti-ricochet situations in gun ranges. They can be placed in many places in a range, such as side walls or range backstops. They are also used for close-quarters training. CRS offers high-quality rubber blocks for modern indoor shooting ranges. Whether you’re a civilian or law enforcement looking to take your skills beyond the range, CRS has state-of-the-art products that are the perfect choice.
In particular, CRS’ ballistic CQ Blocks are the highest quality ballistic rubber protection and round encapsulation available in the firearms industry. These solid one-piece constructions, made of high-density rubber material that can expand up to 300 times its original shape before tearing, far surpass the market “standard” ballistic rubber blocks. The typical 9x12x24 blocks that our competition makes can handle a maximum of 2,500 rounds before failure, with a “pass-through” requiring the blocks to be removed from service. In contrast, CRS’ CQ Blocks can handle between 8,000-10,000 rounds without a pass-through.
CRS offers its CQ Blocks in a wide variety of sizes for ease of installation, and specific case uses. Ranging from 6″ x 12″ x 12″ (36 lbs) up to 9″ x 12″ x 24″ (105 lbs), and also the unrivaled CQ Knee Wall Ballistic Block, a 9″ x 9″ x 6′ at 275 lbs that can easily be installed by one person with a fork truck.
Close Quarters Training
Close quarters training refers to training for combat, law enforcement, or self-defense scenarios that take place in close proximity or confined spaces. This type of training simulates real-life situations that might occur in buildings, homes, or other tight spaces where there is limited room for movement. Close quarters training may include techniques for clearing rooms, close-contact combat, and weapons handling in confined spaces. The goal of this type of training is to prepare individuals for the unique challenges and potential hazards of close-quarters engagements and to develop the skills necessary to effectively operate in these environments.
Cumberland Rubber Supply Ballistic Blocks are a top choice for close quarters training. These high density blocks provide a safe training environment for shooters at close range.
