    • with all handgun or machine gun ammunition including 9 mm, 10 mm, and .40 caliber
    • with all lead shotgun ammunition including 12 gauge lead slugs
    • and with all soft nose rifle ammunition with muzzle energies under 4,000 foot pounds and velocity not exceeding 4,000 feet per second, including .223, .308 and .30 caliber
    • Optional ½” 500 MIN BHN impact plates and AR400 scrolls allow heavy machine gun and sniper rifle ammunition including .50 cal and .338 lapua
    • Steel bullet traps are not designed for steel core or armor piercing ammunition
  • Primary impact plates and sidewalls are offered in various abrasion resistant (AR) armor plate thicknesses and hardness including 1/4”, 3/8” and 1/2” AR500 or 500 MIN BHN
  • Interchangeable and reversible lower impact plates and overtrap plates arranged to assure a multiplicity of impacts before the particles enter the deceleration chamber for collection
  • 27’ D x 9’ H x Width of Range (service area behind the trap with an entry point is needed)
  • Asymmetrical geometry of trap allows running man systems, turning targets or popup targets to be utilized within the trap area and without interference with the trap
  • Spent lead sealed pails recovery system
  • Constructed of special heat-treated steel frames supporting the impact plates at a shallow 15° angle, away from the shooter
  • The AR225 (optional AR400) rear shell scroll assembly is readily removable for inspection, cleaning and replacement
  • Assembled entirely by mechanical joints with no field cutting or welding required for construction or replacement of components
  • For structural integrity and safety, the LE5000 frame stanchion supports are located at each firing lane and do not require tensioned cross cable supports
  • All trap surfaces are factory primed on all sides
  • Trap is divided into spaces corresponding to shooting points. Targets approximately centered on respective impact plates and divisions between impact plates occur roughly midway between target centers
  • Parts fit through a standard 36” W door opening
  • Optional lead collection conveyor system moves particles into a sealed shipping container (lead collection conveyor motor: 230/460 VAC, 3 phase, 60 Hz).
  • Optional airborne particulate cartridge filtration system draws lead dust from the trap opening through the containment chamber and lead conveyor system into a series of low maintenance cartridge filters. Air passes through a HEPA assembly with inlet plenum to provide 99.97% cleaning efficiency on .30-micron particles before discharge (airborne particulate blower motor: 230/460 VAC, 3 phase, 60 Hz; Airborne particulate pulsing controls: 110 VAC, single phase, 60 Hz; Compressed air requirements for airborne particulate pulsing: 90 psi).
