Tactical Targets

For those of you that teach CQB, this self contained target system will allow you to create a more realistic training environment. This target can swing out 90, 180, or 270 degrees, from where it is mounted safely on the other side of the wall. It can operate up to eight hours on one battery charge, and is activated by a passive infrared sensor (not visible to night vision). We offer an optional remote control. It will handle almost any Cardboard target and works on left or right hand doors.

MORE MGM INNOVATION!

All law enforcement and military operators train using barricades, which are typically a range fixture. The problem with traditional barricades is that they have a gigantic foot print (considering the size of the barricade), and they are hard to store because of that foot print. Once again, MGM has come up with a user friendly solution.

The MGM Barricade Bracket set includes 4 pieces of steel, two of which telescope on to the other two, as shown in the pictures, and bolt on to your wooden barricade. When you are done training, take off the "feet", and lean the whole thing up against the wall. You can stack 15 of these barricades in an area that previously (because of the foot print) only hold one.

MGM doesn't supply the wood, but that's OK because you want to put our own special holes in it anyway. Any lumber yard will have 7/16" OSB (wafer board) that you can buy for $8-15 per sheet. Cut it in two, in such a manner that you'll be able to double it to make it more durable. The OSB is 8' long, but your barricade doesn't need to be more than 6' tall, so this is easy to do. Doubling it makes it nearly 1" thick, so it is STABLE, but still light enough for one man to pick up and move.

At this price delivered, with all the bolts, how can you go wrong?

This product was conceived by breaching instructor Skip Harris. (Skip “invented” the Precision Rifle Target). This door allows you to breach mechanically, thermally, ballistically, and some limited explosive breaching. All this can be accomplished quickly with the standard 2 x 4 and 2 x 8 wooden blocks. Set them up with conventional locks, chains, rebar, or simple wood screws. Our door lets you change breaching configurations quickly and easily. The door can be set up as a free standing unit or mounted in a door opening.

We realize the Breach Training Door does not allow for Pushing Charges or Slants. You can’t practice shooting hinges, spreading the jam, or rabbiting the door. The design is not meant to replace sacrificial doors, but to train in these exceptionally destructive techniques. This is an inexpensive vehicle that provides classes with rapid live fire training in many different breaching techniques, in a limited amount of class time.

Frustration with the drop turners available on the market today prompted us to do better. Our “double exposure” drop turner has the best warranty on the market, the fewest moving parts, only weighs 20 lbs and best of all…IT WORKS.

Ours is the best, below are 5 reasons to try the MGM Drop Turner
1) We have the best Warranty in the business.
2) It weighs 20 lbs.
3) There is ONE moving part.
4) The total drop is less than 6", so it's tough to hit the mechanism.
5) The low profile (21" tall, fully extended), lets you START with the target 5' at the shoulder. (This will help keep all the rounds inside the berm.) When it has fully dropped, the target will be 4'-6" at the shoulder, and still at least 9" clear from the bottom of the target to the top of the mechanism.

Note: Our early units did not have enough weight in the dropping mechanism for use in a fairly stiff wind. We have a "no charge" weight kit that we will send to you if you just give us a call.

The Econo-Dropper is a more traditional dropper target, but in an effort to help you keep more of your money for bullets and powder, we have eliminated the need for a manufactured post and base. When you shoot it, it will fall all the way to the ground. This baby uses a plain old metal fence post, which can be bought inexpensively at any hardware or home supply store.

Intended to eliminate long range target resetting, the standard 10" circle with a 5" head hangs below a horizontal stainless shaft. There is a large white piece of polycarbonate plastic in front, and hiding behind is a smaller piece of plastic that is painted fluorescent orange.

When the target is hit the swinging motion of the target moved the white plastic down and the orange plastic up, so the shooter (and the range officer) get an eye full of orange. No question about whether or not the target is hit, no whining. View a short 500kb video of the Flash Target in action. We know a .223 caliber bullet will effectively activate this target out to 400 yards. We have actually shot it at 550 yards in the MGM 3 Gun, but at those yardages, regardless of caliber of rifle, you need a spotter. This target was used in the 2002 USPSA 3 Gun Nationals in the “Bolt Rifle” stages, out to as far as 700 yards and continues to be used in most major 3-guns. Note: The vertical flatbar that the target is connected to has been turned sideways, so the bullet can no longer go through the thickness of the flatbar. The bushing that pivots on the SS shaft is still manufactured for grease zerks, so it swings easy.

At least one of our competitors has flattered us by making their imitation of this product. As always, it is my recommendation that you get your magnifying glass out, and look at all the details before you invest. If their product looks like it will give you better service and performance than ours, they have earned your business, and you've got no heartburn from us.

How many different training tools can you make out of one basic silhouette? We don't know yet, but the FLAG Target definitely fits into the "different" category!

With typical MGM simplicity, we use an IPSC target with an 6" hole in the chest. With accuracy development in mind, the object is to shoot through the hole and hit the hinged plate in the back. When this is successfully accomplished, you'll see a fluorescent red "flag" at the shoulder of the target. The target plate hinge is on an angle such that, after it is shot, gravity will close the door. Again, you have no resetting of the targets. You may want to paint the target plate the same fluorescent red, and for a real challenge for your shooters, designate the remainder of the body as a "no shoot". Simple, fun, effective, and gratifying bargain.

Updated for 2010! We're having WAY too much fun here! We call this target the Hostage Target, even though you wouldn’t shoot at a hostage. It is really a head sized target behind a hostage, like a terrorist holding a grandma, or something similar, but we couldn’t come up with a name that didn’t project images of blood and brains, so we settled on the "Hostage Target".

We start with our standard 500 Brinell full size IPSC silhouette target which is 18" wide, by 30" tall. The body is 24" tall, the head is an additional 6" x 6", to get to 30". On the back of this, we welded two tabs that allow us to mount a removable 1" diameter solid round bar. We then have an 8" diameter target on a bracket that can slide left to right on the round bar. This enables the person calling the shots (no pun intended) to be able to expose any amount of the terrorist he that he/she chooses to, varying the degree of shot difficulty. The round can be positioned all the way to either side, or at any point in between. When the round is hit it bounces back to the position you set. This reduces the amount of time to reset the target, so you can spend more time training and less time reseting targets.

This target utilizes our standard post and base combination, putting the top of the shoulder at 5’ tall. There is a structural tube base, with a structural tube post. The post telescopes on to the top of the base, and on to a tube mounted on the back of the target. You can shoot the post tube anyplace (except at ground level) and you will still be able to slide it off of the target. Usually, if the overlapping area isn’t protected, a misplaced round will dent both tubes, eliminating the possibility of sliding the outer one off of the inner one.

In passing, I need to mention that if you need different silhouette shapes, the most difficult part is letting us know exactly what it is you want. We do lots of custom cutting. While one of a kind is pricey, several units we can do relatively inexpensively. Give us a try. I’m betting you’ll be glad you did.

This is another one of those that a customer asked us to build for him, and then it got out of hand. We are grateful to Mr. Skip Harris who is involved with training at West Point, for presenting this idea to us.

The head shot overall area is 3.5" wide x 1.75" tall, with the "eye" area 1" x 3.5", and the "nose" area 1.25" wide and .75" tall. Chest is a 5" diameter circle. That's why we call it a precision rifle target!

Target doors are available in two different thicknesses. Specify Standard Duty for .223 and pistol, or Heavy Duty for .308, 300 Win Mag, etc. It should be mentioned that the door material is EXACTLY the same for the standard and heavy duty doors. The reason we make two different weights of doors is, a .223 won't reliably open the heavy doors, and a .308 slams the standard doors so hard they bounce shut. If you are sniping with a .338 Lapua, please call so we can quote you prices on a more heavy duty silhouette, and MUCH heavier doors.

WE KNOW THAT THIS TARGET WILL BE ABUSED, and probably shot much closer than a sniper should be shooting it. Just like paper targets, the doors should be considered an expendable part, and when they start getting pretty shot up, please call and order replacements. As it is, the doors are interchangeable so you can put the bottom on top, and vice versa.

Also available with heavy doors for .308, .300 Win Mag, etc. at a slightly higher price.

We chose to use pillow block, greaseable bearings on this product, to give it an incredibly long life, and an incredibly long swing time! Shoot some grease in there a couple times a year, and these bearings should last indefinitely. A 3/8" thick steel plate protects the bearings from ever being hit by a stray bullet.

The other factors that makes our swinger different from Brand "X" (and Brand "Y", etc) are the adjustments on the pendulum shaft. The primary component operating this swinger is a 25 lb. counter weight. When you get this thing swinging, it isn't going to stop any time soon. In other words, a shooter can't trip this target, shoot the other stationary targets, and shoot this one last after it has stopped, because it won't be stopped by then. Surprise!! In fact, this target will probably still be swinging in 2 minutes, so everyone has to shoot it on the move.

The next feature related to the counter weight is it's adjustability. You can slide it up and down the counterweight shaft, which will to a degree vary the speed with which the target swings. It won't be an incredible difference, but it will be noticeable, and any variance increases the fun and challenge.

Yes, THERE'S MORE! A large "T" adjustment bolt enables you to have the target swing back and forth in the center, or you can cock it so it swings from the center, down to the left, or you can make it swing from the center, down to the right. No tools needed. More variety, challenge, and FUN!

Finally, let's paint a word picture. Assume you have the top of the target "head" at 5' tall. The center of our bearing pivot point is about 20" off the ground. If the target starts out in the horizontal position before it is "tripped" and it swings to it's maximum stroke (approximately 180 degrees opposite where it started from) the head is nearly 7' from where it started! You are never going to hit this target by accident! The stroke is long enough you can easily block part of the shooting area with "no shoots" or other vision barriers.

Can you see why we think this stuff is the best there is? Please don't forget about our warranty. If YOU don't think our equipment is as good as we say it is, call us, and we'll make you happy. Whatever it takes. We appreciate your business, and know that your satisfaction is the single most important factor in the growth of our business. Second place is "first loser". Your satisfaction is making us the #1 quality target manufacturer in the country.

Our Mobil Pneutronic (pneumatic/electronic) trailer is the only truly mobile, programmable trailer of its kind on the market. Each of the ten 8” targets are individually programmable for appearance, sequence, and duration. The battery that powers the electronic system can be wired to “charge as you drive”. The air supply comes from a Honda powered compressor. It takes about 15 minutes to set up and start shooting. And on top of all that, it’s remotely controlled out to 300 meters! The programming head is so simple you can learn to program the unit in about 10 minutes. When compared to what’s out there, this system is an incredible value.

The Pepper Popper has been getting the job done for years, but there is always room for improvement, right? The PROPER popper might be that improvement.

I'm going to accuse John Hearne of coming up with this idea, or at least with pursuing it to the point that it got built. It was just MGM's good fortune that he chose to work with us. John's site has comments regarding design and performance criteria that you might find of interest. Link to John's comments

I think the pictures tell it all. There is a rectangular tube across the back that will accept a standard 1" x 2" stick. Slide the stick through and snug the clamp bolt in place and you are good to go. The narrow base of the popper (below the target area) has a piece of 3/8" thick flatbar on the back of it to provide additional rigidity. As with all our poppers, accessories like the the Cardboard Target Pop Up Bracket, the Forward Fall Bracket, and the Pigeon Flippers will all work with this target. All of these accessories can be found in the Popper section under Products.

Available in 8" or 12" diameters, both with 6" wide "heads", please specify codes PRPC8 or PRPC12.

Invented by Gary Slider of New Martinsville, WV, the SLIDER Triple Dropper brings a whole new training dimension to the old one shot falling target. We at MGM are honored that Gary contacted us to be the exclusive manufacturing and sales outlet for this exceptional training tool.

Too many law enforcement agencies have no way to effectively train follow up shots. I’m referring to the mindset that inexperienced officers need to develop, that will keep them aware, alert, and alive, during and after a shooting incident. In real life, it is unfortunate that one shot isn’t always enough to get the job done. This new target REQUIRES additional shots to get the job done, so your students aren’t being mentally handicapped with the thought that you shoot once and that’s all it takes.

Gary’s new concept is simple, but incredibly effective. There are 3 different positions that the target can be shot off of, hence the name "triple dropper". You can lean the vertical post forward or backward, to get more, or fewer drops per shot. If it is leaning backward enough, it may drop three times, all the way to the bottom. Or maybe not. If it is vertical, or leaning slightly toward the shooter, it will drop once with each shot. If you want to do simple target drills, simply leave the target all the way down, and shoot to your heart’s content.

As with all MGM products, we utilize only the finest target materials, with user friendliness as a top priority. The target itself is 500 Brinell steel, (the same hardness as armor plate), with the slider bracket bolted on to it with Grade 8 carriage bolts. Rather than use a mild steel round bar for the bracket, we opted to use formed flatbar, and another Grade 8 bolt. This drives the labor and material costs up a little, but we are confident the trade off for a longer serviceable life is worth it.

The Post is angle iron with the corner toward the shooter to deflect the bullets to the side. At the bottom of the post, we have a square tube that telescopes over the square tube on the base, so no tools are required to stand the thing up.

The actual "teeth" of the unit, that provides the triple drop action are cut from a single piece of 1/2" thick steel plate, using a WATER torch. Yes, water. Running at 6,000 psi, a .035 diameter stream of water with micro garnets injected into the cutting stream will cut 6" plate. Several things are accomplished here. First, even though it doesn’t affect the strength of this part, there is no heat deformation. That IS critical when we are trying to maintain the .5625" slot for our dropper mechanism to slide down. Second, unlike plasma, it gives us an excellent square surface for our Grade 8 bolt to ride down. (Plasma cuts at a very slight angle, and would tend to wear even a Grade 8 bolt out prematurely.)

We are pleased to offer the 11th one free, when you purchase 10. It’s always a good idea to call for availability, but if we have it in our inventory, it will ship the day after the order is placed.

Our job is to help you do your job. It is our sincere hope that this innovative new product from Gary Slider and MGM will give you one more training tool to keep your officers alive.
