Conceptual schematic cross-section of a deceleration bullet trap with black lines representing steel plates: Bullets entering from the left are deflected into the top of the deceleration chamber. Bullets are then deflected clockwise around the deceleration chamber until they lose kinetic energy and fall out the bottom of the deceleration chamber.
A bullet trap (or pellet trap when used specifically for air guns) is a device to stop and collect projectiles fired at a shooting range to prevent overpenetrations and stray shots. Bullet traps typically use friction, impact or gradual deceleration to stop bullets. They can function as a backstop by themselves or be part of a larger backstop, e.g. placed in front of a thick rubber wall or a bay of sand.
The bullet trap may also provide means to recycle bullet materials and/or prevent release of toxic heavy metals (such as lead dust from fragmented bullets) from the shooting range. Some bullet traps include a negative-pressure system to filter dust from air within the impact zone and capture area.[1]
