Bullet traps made of steel sheets have diverse construction. The most common designs are lamella and the snail also called cone bullet traps.

Lamella bullet trap

Lamella bullet traps are made of steel plates, inclined at an angle in the direction of the line of fire with a properly chosen thickness of the sheets. Bullet trap can be covered with anti ricochet screens made of straps, rubber or gel panels.

Cone bullet trap

Cone bullet traps have a relatively small tilt angles of metal sheets. After bullet hits the top or bottom plate it moves across the surface of the sheet in the direction of the inlet slits to the trap tray.

This kind of bullet traps are using rubber granulate to brake and contain projectile. Using granulated or plastic bullet traps minimalize lead dust, ricochets as well as reduce bullet impact noise. Bullet trap is made in the form of a slope.

Portable or transportable bullet traps are used for different purposes, for example as additional traps located behind electronic targets. Transportable traps are particularly useful when shooting from short distances to prevent ricochets.
