I did one of these about 10 years ago a nuke plant. The building was a
pre-fab
metal building with the reinforced concrete shooting range inside. We
protected
the entire building but did not have anything inside the range itself.

What exactly seems "not right"?
The velocity or projectiles have nothing to do with it. Piping will not
even
hold up.
I feel your case hinges on required or not. FM is calling for it so..

Subject: Shooting Range
I am looking for guidance on designing sprinklers in a shooting range.
Something about little glass bulbs or solder links in an area that has high
velocity projectiles, seems not right. Everything in each alley (including
the
separation walls) are non-combustible. The only thing combustible at the
end of
the range is shredded rubber used to absorb the impact after the target.
The
rubber is treated with flame retardant and replaced every three months.
Each
alley has a series of baffles below the roof that are at a 45 degree angle
for
sound. The designer of the facility has done many of these without
sprinklers in
this area of the building. He has even shot tracers to see how the flame
retardant hold up and the flame goes out is less than 20 seconds. A fire
marshal
is saying to sprinkler everything.
If you have any insight, I am listening closely.
