Firing range

Abstract

Shooting range ( 1 ) for example for the target practice of a user, in particular the firing range which the present invention relates to is eco-sustainable. The firing range ( 1 ) comprises a dynamic sound suppression apparatus ( 100 ), an energy recovery system ( 300 ) and a recovery system of residual materials ( 500 ).

1 . A firing range for example for the target practice of a user, comprising:
 firing area, suitable to accommodate the user;   embankment, distanced in relation to the firing area in the direction in which the user aims, suitable to form an obstacle to the bullets exploded by the user; and   a dynamic sound suppression apparatus comprising:
 a) a sound detector device of the sound caused by the shots; 
 b) a suppression sound player device, operatively connected to the detector device, suitable to generate a suppression sound so as to interfere with the sound caused by the shots to dampen such at least partially, and suitable to operate in interference in the area of the shooting range and in the its surrounding area; 
   the firing range is characterized by the fact that the suppression sound player device comprises memorization means suitable for storing data such as sounds, or audio tracks, or sound spectra and suitable for being a data bank of sound of the firearms being fired, or of the sound imprints of the sound of a shot.   
     
     
         2 . A firing range according to  claim 1 , wherein the dynamic sound suppression apparatus comprises processing and control means, which connect the sound detector device and the suppression sound player device, in such a way as to pick up the firing signal from the sound detector device and to generate a signal transmitted to the suppression sound player device. 
     
     
         3 . A firing range according to  claim 2 , wherein the processing means comprise a processing unit suitable to analyze the signal picked up by the sound detector device and, depending on the characteristics of the sound caused by the shots, to select and/or to calculate the appropriate suppression sound to generate. 
     
     
         4 . A firing range according to  claim 1 , wherein the sound caused by the shots is analyzed by the processing unit, stored by the memorization means and, if necessary, generated as a suppression sound in the push-pull stage. 
     
     
         5 . A firing range according to  claim 1 , wherein the dynamic sound suppression apparatus comprises a plurality of sound detector devices and a plurality of suppression sound player devices. 
     
     
         6 . A firing range according to  claim 1 , wherein the sound detector device comprises a plurality of microphones positioned all along the firing range area in such a way as to pick up a certain number of sounds, sound spectra. 
     
     
         7 . A firing range according to  claim 1 , wherein the suppression sound player device comprises a certain number of megaphones, or loudspeakers or sound sources, suitable to play various sounds in such a way that these interfere with each other in a destructive manner in every part of the firing range and the surrounding area. 
     
     
         8 . A firing range according to  claim 1 , wherein the dynamic sound suppression apparatus is mobile and is able to move with the shooter along a predefined path. 
     
     
         9 . A firing range according to  claim 5 , wherein said plurality of sound detector devices and/or said plurality of suppression sound player devices are positioned in such a way that they are appropriately positioned distanced from each other along the preferential directions of sound propagation. 
     
     
         10 . A firing range according to  claim 1 , further comprising:
 an intermediate area, positioned between the firing area and the embankment, suitable to receive the residual cartridge cases produced during the firing activity;   a system for recovering the residual cartridge cases, comprising at least one conveyor belt for the transport of the residual cartridge cases contained in the intermediate area.   
     
     
         11 . A firing range according to  claim 1 , further comprising an energy recovery system such as solar panels positioned on the embankment, for the supply of electricity to the components of the firing range.
