We are aware that every range project presents its own unique set of circumstances that must be considered when selecting the appropriate bullet containment system. Identifying the shooting activities to be conducted and the type of weapons and ammunition to be used will influence the type of bullet trap that is acceptable. Along with these factors, the environmental performance of the bullet trap must be assessed to ensure long term range sustainability and mitigation of lead hazards. Environmentally-Friendly Bullet Traps We developed and fielded the first environmentally friendly bullet traps, and were awarded the first patent for a product bullet trap which captured rounds largely intact, with minimal potential for richochet, reduced potential for generation of lead dust (from smashing rounds) and and very low impact noise. Granulated Rubber Bullet Trap GranTrap™ represents the best available bullet trap technology for bullet capture and containment. Utilizing granulate rubber material to stop incoming rounds, the bullet impacts the soft media and is captured predominately intact, minimizing airborne lead dust, averting backsplatter and ricochet, and minimizing impact noise. This provides a cleaner and safer environment for shooting ranges, and maximizes bullet recovery and recycling processes. The GranTrap™ product line includes Reclining GranTrap™, Capped Berm GranTrap™, GranTrap™ Test Trap, and the Safe-N-Clear clearing trap for handguns or rifles. Reclining GranTrap™ Product Sheet Rubber Lamella Trap The Rubber Lamella trap features a patented design of multiple layers of rubber strips suspended from a steel support frame. Bullet velocity of incoming rounds dissipates and is absorbed through friction within the lamellas and the bullet is captured virtually intact. Range applications for the rubber lamella trap include crime labs, residential ranges, and other low volume applications. Steel Bullet Traps Steel bullet traps are our legacy. We developed the first commercially available steel bullet trap in the US and have field-proven designs that include pistol and rifle rated steel escalator and venetian blind traps. Our steel bullet trap product line offer many extra features like an optional containment system that safely contains all projectiles, fragments and dust, thus limiting the potential exposure of range personnel to airborne lead dust. Escalator Bullet Trap The rifle and handgun escalator bullet traps from Meggitt Training Systems offer low cost and low maintenance solutions for indoor and outdoor ranges using fixed firing lines. The design of the impact plates direct bullets into a swirl chamber at the top of the trap for final deceleration. The spent fragments collect in trays at the base of the trap for easy removal. Models are available for use with handguns, shotguns, 9mm submachine guns and for ball ammunition fired from high velocity rifles. 5000E Steel Rifle Bullet Trap Meggitt offers the latest generation of steel bullet trap, the 5000E steel rifle-rated trap. Building on proven methods and past successes, Meggitt engineers and shooters spent over two years designing and developing a unique trap to accommodate rigorous courses of fire with pistol and rifle rounds. Constructed to set a new standard in projectile containment, the 5000E surpasses competitors' traps. See more... Venetian Blind Bullet Trap Among our unique innovations in bullet traps is the Venetian Blind handgun-rated bullet trap. The Model LE2400 bullet trap is designed for installations where range space is minimal, as it requires only 30 inches of floor space. The trap is constructed of a series of angled baffles that direct incoming rounds into a deceleration chamber. After their energy is dissipated, the rounds drop into collection trays, accessible from the front of the trap, for easy handling. The LE2400 is rated for all handgun, 9mm submachine gun, and shotgun ammunition. Regardless of range type, training requirements, or location, Meggitt Training Systems can provide the necessary expertise and appropriate ballistic containment system to meet your needs.
