Q.: Does the unit require a welded cabinet to store the weapons? Welded will meet the DOD 5100- 76.M physical security requirement as the cabinets cannot be disassembled like 4-post boltless shelving can.

A.: Yes

Q.: Does the unit require weapon racks with locking doors?

A.: Yes

Q.: Does the unit require a fully slotted back panel inside of the weapon racks so components can be adjusted as needed in the future?
