Welcome to Qiaosun’s Shooting Range – A Tactical Playground for TAC:Z Enthusiasts
Every Texan knows they can’t live without Ammu-Nation, and for Minecraft players running the Timeless and Classics: Zero mod, that sentiment rings true. Qiaosun’s shooting range delivers a meticulously crafted map where you can test firearms, measure bullet spread, and sharpen your close-quarters battle skills. Whether you’re a seasoned marksman or just curious about different gun packs, this range transforms your blocky world into a full-blown ballistic laboratory.
What Makes This Map Stand Out
Unlike a simple flat world with scattered targets, Qiaosun’s design embraces realism and variety. The map is purpose-built for the TAC:Z mod on Minecraft 1.20.1 Forge, and it covers everything from pinpoint accuracy drills to dynamic moving targets. You’ll find dedicated zones for each type of firearm testing, all wrapped in an immersive, no-nonsense military aesthetic. The built-in timing system in the CQB killing house adds a competitive edge, letting you race against the clock while clearing rooms.
Required Mods for the Full Experience
To step into this shooting range, you need two essential mods running on Forge 1.20.1:
- Timeless and Classics: Zero (Forge) – The core firearm mod that adds realistic guns, attachments, and ballistics.
- MmmMmmMmmMmm (Target Dummy) (Forge) – A versatile dummy mod used for damage testing, DPS checks, and piercing experiments.
Getting both mods set up manually can be tedious, but modern launchers simplify the process. For instance, the foxygame.net launcher offers a streamlined way to browse, install, and manage mods directly from its menu, so you can grab Timeless and Classics: Zero along with Target Dummy in just a few clicks without hunting through forums. Once everything is loaded, the map seamlessly integrates these mods, placing default guns and ammo supplies right at your spawn point.
Exploring the Range: Zone by Zone
The map is divided into several distinct areas, each tailored to a specific training goal. You can wander freely or follow a logical progression from fundamentals to advanced drills.
5m–105m Long-Range Indoor Shooting Range
This is the heart of the facility. A cavernous indoor hall stretches over 100 meters, letting you test bullet drop, velocity, and scope zeroing without weather interference. Lanes are clearly marked, and you can adjust target distance manually. The long-range setup is perfect for comparing sniper rifles or checking how different ammo types perform at extreme distances.
Bullet Spread Test Area
Adjacent to the long-range lanes, you’ll find a dedicated spread analysis zone. Here, you can fire at a clean backdrop and measure pellet dispersion for shotguns or full-auto recoil patterns. The optional distance adjustment and target refresh system let you reset the area instantly, so you can run back-to-back tests without walking back and forth. It’s a dream for anyone fine-tuning weapon attachments or comparing gun packs.
Close-Range Indoor Shooting Range with Moving Targets
Static paper targets only teach you so much. This section introduces moving silhouettes that glide across rails, simulating lateral movement. You can practice tracking, snap shooting, and recoil control under pressure. The indoor setting keeps lighting consistent, making it easier to focus on sight picture and trigger discipline.
Target Dummy DPS and Piercing Test
Using the MmmMmmMmmMmm mod, a row of target dummies stands ready for damage-per-second measurements. Empty a magazine into a dummy and watch the floating damage numbers to compare raw output. The piercing test lane takes it further—stack multiple dummies or use armor-plated variants to see how well your rounds penetrate. It’s invaluable for choosing the right caliber for armored mobs or PvP scenarios.
Outdoor Full-Range Shooting Range
When you need fresh air and longer sightlines, head outside. The outdoor range extends the distance even further and adds natural lighting conditions. Wind isn’t a factor in Minecraft ballistics, but the change in scenery helps break the monotony and lets you test scopes against varied backgrounds. Default ammo boxes are scattered nearby, so you’ll never run dry mid-session.
CQB Killing House – Inspired by COD4’s “F.N.G.”
Fans of Call of Duty 4 will instantly recognize the layout. The CQB killing house is a faithful homage to the iconic training course where Captain Price barked orders. Inside, 78 targets are arranged through rooms and corridors, each demanding quick reflexes and precise shot placement. A built-in timing system tracks your run from the first breach to the last target, pushing you to beat your personal best. The voice lines echoing in your head—“What the hell kind of name is ‘Soap’?”—add a layer of nostalgia as you sprint through the plywood maze.
Getting the Most Out of Your Training
Start by grabbing the default guns and ammo from the supply area near spawn. Familiarize yourself with each weapon’s handling before jumping into timed drills. Use the bullet spread test to dial in your attachments, then move to the moving targets to practice tracking. For the CQB house, memorize target positions over a few slow runs, then push for speed. The piercing test can also help you understand which firearms work best against modded mobs or armored players on multiplayer servers.
Why This Map Belongs in Your Minecraft Arsenal
Qiaosun’s shooting range isn’t just a novelty—it’s a practical tool for anyone serious about TAC:Z gameplay. Instead of building makeshift targets in survival or creative mode, you get a polished environment that saves time and provides consistent testing conditions. The variety of zones means you can refine every aspect of your shooting, from raw DPS to CQB reaction times. Plus, the map’s compact design keeps all facilities within a short walk, so you spend more time shooting and less time traveling.
Whether you’re prepping for a server war, experimenting with a new gun modpack, or simply indulging in some trigger therapy, this shooting range delivers. Load up the required mods, step into the lanes, and see if you have what it takes to impress Captain Price.
