(a) A shooting range must be totally enclosed with contiguous walls, a ceiling, and a floor that separate the shooting range from the shooting range facility and any other uses located in the building. Except as provided in subsection (b) of this section, the enclosure shall be penetration-proof for the heaviest caliber of ammunition used on the firing range fired point blank into the enclosure at 90 degrees to the surface. Enclosure walls, floors, ceiling assemblies, doors and opening protective assemblies for the shooting range shall be designed and constructed with materials and assemblies sufficient to stop all bullets fired or projectiles from penetrating beyond the shooting range enclosure.
(b) The rear wall shall be designed and constructed of materials, assemblies, and opening protectives strong enough to be capable of stopping a ricochet of a bullet, fragment or back splatter, from penetrating beyond the wall.
