ArmorBlock is Amidon’s modular hardened wall system for projects that need ballistic resistance, impact protection, and durable concrete construction without relying on conventional block alone.
The system uses specially configured concrete masonry units that are filled with Amidon Shield, our fortified cementitious material. Once filled, the wall becomes a hardened protective assembly suitable for live-fire training environments, secure facility construction, and other applications where ordinary CMU walls are not enough.
ArmorBlock is designed to give owners, contractors, and facility planners a practical path to hardened construction using familiar masonry methods. It can support new construction, retrofit layouts, interior protective corridors, range improvements, and selected mission-critical facility applications.
Unlike lightweight panels or surface-applied products, ArmorBlock creates mass, depth, and continuity inside the wall itself. That matters when the requirement is not just appearance or partitioning, but real protection against severe physical threats.
ArmorBlock is especially relevant for:
- Live-fire shoot houses
- Indoor small arms range envelopes
- Hardened rooms and corridors
- Critical infrastructure spaces
- Secure storage and equipment areas
- Military, law enforcement, and government training facilities
- Industrial and utility facilities requiring stronger protective walls
The system is built around repeatable components and a fill process that can be adapted to the project. This makes ArmorBlock easier to understand, specify, transport, and install than many custom hardened wall approaches.
For projects that require a modular wall system with higher protective value, ArmorBlock provides a direct path from conventional masonry construction to hardened building performance.
Build the wall. Fill it with Shield. Harden the facility.

ArmorBlock, All the Way
Why ArmorBlock?
ArmorBlock is built on the proven strength of Amidon Shield’s innovative 4,500 PSI High-Performance Shock Absorbing Concrete (HPSAC), delivering the highest standard of resilience and safety for concrete masonry units (CMUs).
The Ultimate in Secure Construction
- Unmatched Strength – Engineered for superior impact resistance and durability
- Effortless Installation – Designed for easy integration into new and existing structures
- Maximum Protection – Ideal for constructing secure environments, including safe rooms, critical infrastructure, and fortified buildings
When security and durability matter, ArmorBlock is the trusted solution for building with confidence.
Key Features of ArmorBlock
- Superior Strength: Each ArmorBlock is made from Amidon Shield’s High-Performance Shock Absorbing Concrete (HPSAC), designed to absorb and dissipate energy effectively, ensuring robust protection against ballistic and blast threats.
- Easy Installation: ArmorBlocks are designed to be seamlessly integrated into any building project using standard grouting techniques, making them a practical choice for rapid construction without compromising on safety.
- Tested Protection: Independently tested, ArmorBlocks can be top-filled to create a wall system tested to UL 752 Level 10, providing ballistic resistance up to .50 caliber projectiles.
- Versatile Design: Each unit is a nominal 8×8×16-inch block. It ships at 40 lb with both break-away tabs in place; snap one tab for a 35 lb A-block, or both for a 30 lb H-block — so any block can serve as an A or H unit in the field. Custom orders start at 1,000 units, allowing for scalable solutions to meet project needs.

Not only ballistic
High-Mass Control for Industrial Environments
A large share of ArmorBlock’s work has nothing to do with a hostile threat. Industrial facilities fight structure-borne vibration and low-frequency noise from chillers, compressors, generators, and turbines — energy that travels through structure, not air, and that lightweight partitions simply lack the mass to attenuate.
ArmorBlock uses mass, stiffness, and continuity to reduce that energy at the source — a modular, relocatable, high-density wall built for harsh environments, not office interiors. It installs with conventional equipment and often performs as a standalone solution.

ArmorBlock Questions, Answered
What is Amidon ArmorBlock?
ArmorBlock is a fillable concrete masonry unit (CMU) made from Amidon Shield’s High-Performance Shock Absorbing Concrete (HPSAC). It is a nominal 8×8×16 block, tested to UL 752 Level 10, used to build ballistic walls, safe rooms, shoot houses, SCIFs, and high-mass industrial walls.
Is ArmorBlock bullet resistant?
ArmorBlock has been tested to UL 752 Level 10, the highest small-arms level in the standard. Ballistic performance depends on the wall assembly and configuration — Amidon can advise on the right build for a given threat.
What is ArmorBlock used for?
Common uses include ballistic and shoot-house walls, safe rooms, SCIF construction, data-center and equipment enclosures, blast-exposed facilities, and high-mass walls for industrial vibration and low-frequency noise control.
How much does ArmorBlock cost?
ArmorBlock is priced by the pallet, from $1,495 per pallet (5–49 pallets) down to $895 per pallet at volume (500+). Each pallet covers about 80 square feet of 8-inch wall. Material only; excludes shipping and taxes. Use the configurator above to estimate your project.
What size is an ArmorBlock unit, and how much does it weigh?
ArmorBlock is a nominal 8×8×16-inch CMU (actual 7.625×7.625×15.625 inches). Each block ships at about 40 lb with both break-away tabs in place; tabs can be removed in the field to form A or H blocks.
