Configurable structures for firearm and tactical training

Abstract

Systems for building customizable structures, without tools and without separate mechanical fasteners, as well as methods of use are described. Such structures may comprise at least two separate panels removably attached to a common panel-joiner. Such panels may be substantially planar and structural members. Such panel joiners may be substantially elongate members and structural members. Edges of the panels and complimentary-edges of the panel-joiners may be removably attached to each other by virtue of a plurality of clips running along a given edge and a complimentary plurality of clip-receivers running along the given complimentary-edge of the given panel-joiner. Such erected customizable structures, may then be used in firearm and tactical training. Such erected customizable structures may simulate various building structures, such as, but not limited to, rooms and/or hallways.
