I know, right? If I were going to build one from the ground up, I'd do shoot-through wall segments, or use OSB instead of drywall.
The drywall was mainly at the request of the LEOs that rented the range out for simunition training, IIRC. Pretty sure the cops and CPB guys liked being able to ride role players through wall segments that broke like actual walls did. I seem to recall hearing about how Matt H. bent a surefire L2 between his hip and a 2x4 when an ICE guy rode him through a wall, anyway.
The IR cameras hooked up to VCRs made for some pretty entertaining viewing. Two guys in pitch black fumbling around looking for each other, with a room full of guys watching it on TV and talking shit. Pretty sure the velocity limit there was 450 FPS too, which did more to teach proper use of cover than anything else I'd seen.
