WBS can test your products quickly and efficiently and work with complete customer confidentiality.

Wiltshire Ballistic Services have a selection of firearms and ammunition that can be used for testing and demonstration use including Section 5 firearms. These are handled only by trained staff at the range. If there is a specific weapon or ammunition you wish test, we will source it for your specific trial. Testing at Wiltshire Ballistic Services is cost-effective and very flexible in that the customers are welcome to witness the trials or simply send in samples for testing.
