For a ballistic steel shoothouse to be deemed safe, its walls
must be made of through-hardened steel that has a Brinell
hardness rating of at least 500. Period. In steel manufacturing
terms, the plates must also provide sufficient strength, toughness,
and stress resistance.
There are many steel mills located around the world, but only
a select few are able to produce steel that is hard enough and
of sufficient quality to be safely used in a ballistic shoothouse.
HARDOX / SSAB, Bethlehem-Lucas, and Oregon Steel Mills
are major producers of such steel. Each of these companies
may have minor proprietary differences in their production
methods, but they all must make sheets of hard steel in
essentially the same way. It’s like two different bakers making
bread; they each may have their own little secrets, but the
basic recipe, processes, and results are the same.
A sheet of steel with a certified Brinell hardness rating of 500+
from one of the above mills is fundamentally the same as a
similar sheet of steel from any of the other mills. After
production, the mill officially certifies that their steel meets
strict guidelines for hardness and overall quality. Samples are
pulled from each large sheet and tested to validate the process
and confirm the results.
