Modular kill house & shoot house systems A live-fire training house you can reconfigure between serials
Most kill houses are poured once and argued with forever — the layout that suited last year's syllabus is now a wall in the wrong place. Roschcrete builds the ballistic shell as a permanent structure and everything inside it as movable panels, so the same building gives your instructors a new floor plan in an afternoon. The six systems below are supplied and installed as one package, from the same works in Jalandhar that builds the Portable Bunker.

How a modular shoot house is put together
Point at a system to find it in the plan. The outer band is fixed; everything drawn inside it moves.
Fixed wall panels
Composite rubber and steel, anchored to the RCC shell.
Modular walls
Wheeled, dual-sided panels that set the floor plan.
Ceiling systems
Ballistic base lining plus an acoustic composite above it.
Floor panels
Bonded crumb rubber that traps fragments underfoot.
Acoustic insulation
Perimeter treatment worked to a 80 dB target.
Ballistic glazing
BR6 observation and door glass in MS frames.
The six systems in detail
01
Fixed wall panels — composite rubber and steel
These are the permanent skin of the training house. Each 500 × 500 × 130 mm panel layers rubber over a hardened steel back, so a round is slowed by the rubber and stopped by the plate rather than thrown back into the room. The ventilated cavity between the two keeps the assembly from behaving like a drum.
- Panel size
- 500 × 500 × 130 mm (±5 mm)
- Rubber layer
- 50 mm shredded, hot-moulded, bonded rubber
- Laminated wood
- 18 mm
- Air vent structure
- MS 50 mm tubular
- Steel backing
- 10 mm high-carbon plate, 450 HBW
- Protective coating
- 1–2 mm
Installation: anchored to the existing RCC walls on MS framed supports using M16 × 190 mm chemical resin anchor rods, galvanised grade 5.8. A 25 mm gap is left at the bottom edge to collect fragments, closed off with anti-ricochet rubber barriers.
02
Modular walls — movable close-combat panels
This is the system that makes the building modular. Each panel is protected on both faces, because in a shoot house every wall is someone's front and someone else's back. They sit on a framed base with locking wheels, so a two-room layout becomes a corridor-and-three-room layout without a contractor on site.
- Panel size
- 500 × 500 × 250 mm
- Overall thickness
- 250–300 mm (±10 mm)
- Rubber layers
- 50 mm hot-moulded, both sides
- Wood layers
- 18 mm laminated, both sides
- Air vent structure
- MS 50 mm tubular, both sides
- Steel backing
- 10 mm high-carbon plate, 450 HBW
- Mobility
- Heavy-duty locking wheels on MS frame
Installation: 25 mm floor clearance for fragment collection, configured on site to the training requirement.
03
Ceiling systems — ballistic lining and acoustic composite
Rounds go up as well as forward. The ceiling is built in two parts: a ballistic base lining bolted to the truss, and an acoustic composite above it that takes the edge off the report before it reaches the roof deck.
- Base lining
- 500 × 500 × 95 mm, M12 galvanised bolts to truss
- MS layer
- 6 mm mild steel
- Air void
- 50 mm ventilation space
- Wooden support
- 36 mm stopper, braced with polyethylene
- Acoustic lining
- 500 × 500 × 100 mm rubber-wood fibre composite
- Composition
- Crumb rubber granules, cement-composite bonded
Installation: the acoustic layer sits above wooden stoppers, which isolate vibration rather than transmitting it into the structure.
04
Floor ballistic panels
A concrete floor sends fragments back at ankle height. These panels replace that surface with 50 mm of polymerically bonded crumb rubber, hot-moulded and cured, which takes the energy out of a downward strike and holds the fragments where they land.
- Panel size
- 500 × 500 × 50 mm
- Material
- Crumb rubber granules, polymerically bonded
- Manufacturing
- Hot-moulded, cured
- Purpose
- Fragment capture, ricochet reduction
05
Acoustic insulation panels
Hearing loss is the injury a training house actually causes. Perimeter panels on every room-facing and corridor-facing surface bring internal levels down towards 80 dB during live fire, which is what lets a team run repetitions all day instead of a handful of runs.
- Minimum thickness
- 50 mm
- Location
- All interior perimeter walls
- Performance target
- ≤ 80 dB internal during live fire
- Ammunition classes
- 7.62 mm and 5.56 mm
- Mounting
- Secured to framed support structure
06
Ballistic-resistant glazing
Instructors need to see the run without standing in it. Observation and door glazing is borosilicate with polycarbonate interlayers, rated to defeat the same ammunition the walls are built for.
- Overall thickness
- Minimum 40 mm
- Glass type
- Borosilicate with polycarbonate interlayers
- Standard
- EN 1063 Class BR6 / NIJ Level III
- Ballistic rating
- 7.62 × 51 mm NATO, 5.56 × 45 mm, 9 mm Parabellum at rated distances
- Frame
- MS hollow section 75 × 50 × 4 mm, powder-coated
- Anchoring
- M16 chemical anchors, min. 4 per vertical section
- Sealing
- Structural silicone at all glass-to-frame joints
Quality assurance and handover
- All materials conform to the stated ballistic evaluation standards.
- Fixings and anchors are certified for both load-bearing and ballistic duty.
- Representative samples are tested before bulk installation begins.
- Installation follows site-specific engineer drawings, not a catalogue layout.
- Post-installation inspection verifies structural integrity and protection before handover.
Who these facilities are built for
Army and paramilitary CQB
Room-clearing and entry drills where the layout has to follow the syllabus, not the other way round.
Police and SWAT units
Urban entry practice inside an existing shed or hall, without pouring a new building.
Indoor firing ranges
Anti-ricochet lining and acoustic treatment retrofitted to a range already in use.
Private training providers
Commercial shoot houses where noise limits and neighbour complaints decide the design.
Roschcrete Technologies also builds the ballistic panels these facilities are lined with. For the panel materials themselves, see FICS Panel and SIFCON Panel; for deployable field structures, see the Portable Bunker system.
Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between a kill house and a shoot house?
None, in practice. Indian and NATO units tend to say kill house; commercial and police training providers more often say shoot house or CQB house. All three describe an enclosed building teams enter and fire live rounds inside.
Can a modular kill house go inside an existing building?
Yes, and that is the usual case. The fixed panels anchor to your existing RCC walls and the ceiling lining bolts to the existing truss, so a shed, hangar or disused hall becomes the shell.
How is the layout changed?
The modular walls run on heavy-duty locking wheels. Unlock, reposition, relock. No cutting, no anchoring, no contractor.
Which ammunition is the facility rated for?
The systems are specified around 7.62 mm and 5.56 mm classes, with glazing rated to EN 1063 BR6 / NIJ Level III, which also covers 9 mm Parabellum.
How is noise handled?
Through two systems working together: 50 mm perimeter acoustic panels and a 100 mm rubber-wood composite ceiling lining, isolated on wooden stoppers. The design target is 80 dB or lower inside the space during live fire.
Do you supply outside India?
Manufacturing is in Jalandhar, Punjab, and the panel modules ship flat. Send your site details on WhatsApp and we will tell you what is workable.
