Training with Barricades

Enhancing Proficiency with Multi-Function Barricades

Barricades play an important role in combat and law enforcement training. They provide both cover and concealment and serve as dynamic obstacles that challenge tactical skills.

Trango Systems’ training barricades have strategically placed holes in various shapes and sizes at different heights. This design allows trainees to practice shooting from diverse angles and weapon placements. These barricades can be used as standalone units or integrated into modular setups. Together, they add depth and flexibility to combat training environments.

How to Use Barricades and Realistic Models to Improve Marksmanship

The Role of Barricades in Modern Combat Training

Trango’s advanced barricades feature different cutouts. This design creates numerous opportunities to train from unique shooting positions and weapon placements.

KEY BENEFITS:

  • Realistic Cover and Concealment: They replicate various types of cover that trainees might encounter, such as walls, fences, or natural obstacles.
  • Enhanced Tactical Adaptability: With cutouts at multiple angles, barricades help trainees practice shooting in situations where their line of sight or weapon position is constrained.
  • Obstacle Training: Beyond providing cover, these barricades serve as physical obstacles, enhancing mobility and spatial awareness.

Design Features of Trango's Barricades for Tactical Training

Trango’s barricades offer versatility in training. They can be attached to walls and modular setups or used as freestanding barriers. Hence, these barricades are a valuable addition to training facilities:

Varied Shooting Holes and Cutouts: the barricades come with holes in different shapes and sizes at varying heights. This allows trainees to practice shooting from different positions – standing, kneeling, and prone. They can also adapt their aim through narrow or wide cutouts. It’s an ideal way to simulate real-world shooting constraints.

Multiple Weapon Placement Options: the holes in each barricade are strategically positioned to support various weapon types, positions, and shooting techniques. This flexibility helps develop shooting accuracy and proficiency across different weapon types.

Standalone or Integrated Use: the barricades are designed for maximum adaptability. They can function as independent barriers or covers or be attached to walls and other modular structures. This allows trainers to create complex environments with obstacles that serve as both cover and concealment or as part of a larger modular setup.

Strong and Portable: Constructed with high-quality materials, these barricades are built to withstand repeated use, harsh weather, and live fire. Moreover, they are lightweight and easy to move. Trainers can rearrange them quickly and adapt layouts as needed, keeping training sessions varied and challenging.

Changeable Configurations: The ability to integrate barricades into modular setups enables trainers to build and modify training environments on demand. This adaptability is invaluable in preparing personnel for diverse mission scenarios.

Training with Multi-Function Barricades

Incorporating Trango’s barricades into combat training offers a range of practical benefits that enhance both tactical skills and adaptability. 

Mastering Cover and Concealment Techniques

Trango’s barricades simulate real-world cover options, training personnel to assess the effectiveness of different types of cover. Trainees learn to use narrow cutouts to observe and engage targets without fully exposing themselves. 

Optimized Weapon Handling for Different Shooting Angles

The various shapes and heights of cutouts allow trainees to practice handling their weapons in multiple orientations. Whether aiming through a low, narrow cutout or a wider gap, personnel develop the muscle memory and control needed for accuracy in challenging positions.

Improved Tactical Movement Around Obstacles

Using barricades as obstacles forces trainees to navigate spaces carefully. This improves agility and spatial awareness. Moving in and around these obstacles sharpens skills for entering and exiting cover quickly – an ability that’s essential in high-stakes scenarios where split-second decisions are critical.

Refined Shooting Techniques and Situational Awareness

The varied holes in the barricades encourage trainees to shift between shooting positions quickly. This refines their ability to transition smoothly from one angle to another without sacrificing accuracy. Additionally, these barriers heighten situational awareness, as trainees learn to assess cover options and plan their approach based on available protection and firing angles

Trango’s advanced barricades provide unmatched versatility in combat training, with strategically placed cutouts for varied shooting angles and weapon placements. Designed for both cover and concealment, these barricades can be used as standalone obstacles or integrated into modular setups, creating immersive environments that closely mimic real-life scenarios. From refining shooting techniques to enhancing tactical movement and spatial awareness, these barricades offer a powerful, adaptable training solution.
