Action Target’s Rubber Berm Trap™ (RBT) offers a reliable and cost-effective solution for ranges seeking a safer and more efficient way to capture bullets. By leveraging the practical advantages of rubber—such as reduced ricochet, noise dampening, and easy bullet containment—this rubber bullet trap eliminates many of the weaknesses found in traditional berm systems. Its streamlined, hassle-free design makes it ideal for commercial, home ranges, or law enforcement, performing consistently across various shooting scenarios. The RBT requires minimal maintenance and delivers impressive performance without the need for complex infrastructure. Best of all, its affordability sets it apart. Backed by Action Target’s decades of engineering expertise and commitment to customer satisfaction, the rubber berm trap offers exceptional value without compromising on quality, safety, or long-term durability.
From your first question to your final shot, Action Target is your trusted partner—guiding you every step of the way.
Action Target’s styrene-butadiene rubber granules are available in a variety of sizes and grade options to fit the needs of any range.
Action Target provides optional Flame Lock™ flameresistant treatment. This gives rubber granules an ASTM-E84 and ASTM-E108-11 Class A rating, which is the industry’s best fire rating.
The Rubber Berm Trap is the safest rubber trap available. The self-supporting berm frame is designed to IBC standards.
The Rubber Berm Trap’s patented fin design keeps the rubber at a depth that is safe for shooters and reduces trap maintenance.
Customers may opt for AR steel sidewalls to prevent bullets from damaging the range walls.
Optional overhead baffles are available for additional protection of the building structure. Baffles can also be positioned as a hopper feeder for granule distribution.
Friction-based energy absorption stops rounds cleanly while reducing ricochet and airborne lead—ideal for indoor or lower-volume law-enforcement ranges focused on health and safety.
Chopped rubber replicates berm behavior to decelerate and capture rounds
Consistent bullet entrapment without hard-surface splash
Predictable performance across duty pistol and patrol rifle programs
Softer medium mitigates secondary fragmentation and back-splatter
Lowers airborne lead generation compared to steel impacts
Supports cleaner air strategies and easier compliance
More forgiving for cross-lane shots and angled engagements
Enables near-contact drills where policy and SOPs allow
Strong option for indoor and other low-volume facilities prioritizing dust control
Rubber Berm Traps demand smart engineering to stay safe, consistent, and easy to run. Our system controls rubber flow, simplifies service, and preserves precious range space—ideal for new builds and retrofits.
Horizontal fins stabilize the rubber fill to prevent “flow” and voids
Maintains uniform density at the top to stop rounds reliably
Preserves ballistic integrity and prevents potential escape paths
Sectional frame adapts to any bay width/height without custom fabrication
Components fit through standard doors for simple staging in older facilities
Damaged sections swap out individually—no full-trap teardown
No hoppers, rear doors, or top access panels required
Installs flush to existing walls to maximize lanes and catwalk clearance
Clear service paths reduce downtime and keep training on schedule
Latex-based, intumescent coating for rubber berm traps that suppresses flame spread, protects structures, and cuts upkeep—purpose-built for high-duty LE ranges.
Intumescent layer expands under heat to smother ignition and shield rubber media
Inhibits flame spread inside berms, protecting people, equipment, and structures
Third-party tested: ASTM E-108-11 Class A on rubber media; ASTM E-84 Class A on SureStop™ blocks/panels
Applied in layers to new or existing traps; reapply only as media is replaced
Does not require frequent watering or rehydration like gels/foams
Effective without coating every granule—reduces labor and downtime
Engineered with leading labs to solve common deficiencies of other products
Works across indoor/outdoor berms and retrofits without layout changes
Lowers risk profile and total cost of ownership while preserving training throughput
Action Target’s Rubber Berm Trap is the most durable rubber trap available on the market and is available in both ATI Class 1 (Pistol) and ATI Class 2 (Rifle) rated options.
.50 BMG Considerations
The ATI Class 2 (Rifle) rated version can handle .50 BMG rounds; however, due to the powerful nature of this round certain factors need to be considered related to the life expectancy and maintenance of the Total Containment Trap. To learn more, follow this link: Learn More>
