Flexible and Adaptable Forensic / Ballistic Testing
for Handguns and Rifles
Flexible and Adaptable Forensic / Ballistic Testing for Handguns and Rifles
We all wanted a machine to safely test rifles and handguns while
removing human risk.
One of our main purposes for designing this system was to allow not only ballistic or gun testers, but also local, state, and federal law enforcement the ability to safely fire confiscated, unknown, or dangerous weapons from a safe distance. Aspiring to reach our goal, we chose to focus on a machine with the ability to fire and test, not just some rifles or handguns, or certain types of guns, but virtually all handheld guns. We wanted to design and build a machine which would sustain our Ransom International reputation for American quality, American engineering, and state-of-the-art design at minimum cost to you. This machine was not only a challenge to develop and achieve: it was and is the legacy of Ransom International Corporation.
Flexible and Adaptable Forensic / Ballistic Testing for Handguns and Rifles
This Forensic Ballistic testing machine is fulfilling the challenge that Chuck Ransom was working to complete before his passing.
An American Original
The Ransom Legacy: Ransom International Corporation is the original American pistol and rifle shooting rest company, with the international standard for precision and accuracy testing of handguns. Along with a world-renowned and world record-holding rifle rest, our products are being proudly used by military along with federal and state agencies. Chuck Ransom, founder, and inventor, was approached by a government and military test facility to build a rifle testing machine able to hold, fire and handle the recoil of any gun.
This Forensic Ballistic testing machine is fulfilling the challenge that Chuck Ransom was working to complete before his passing.
Chuck Ransom once said, “Such a testing machine seems almost impossible: a system able to safely and accurately hold all guns of all different styles.” But this was the task and challenge Ransom Rest agreed to take on.
Ransom International Corporation believes, now more than ever, there is a need for such a machine. So, the Ransom team got to work designing and building a rifle testing machine. Over 14 years after Chuck Ransom’s first design, we are proud to release for sale the new Forensic/Ballistic Testing Machine..
