Portable Bullet Trap

PORTABLE BULLET TRAPS OFFER SAFETY, VERSATILITY, AND MOBILITY IN ONE SOLUTION

Portable Bullet Traps are a smart, efficient solution for extending the life of your shoot house by capturing live rounds before they impact structural walls. Designed with durability and ease of maintenance in mind, these traps feature a replaceable façade that simplifies cleanup and minimizes repair costs. When strategically placed, these bullet traps can reduce the number of rounds fired into shoot house walls by up to 90%, significantly lowering wear and preserving training environments over time.

Each trap is large enough to accommodate standard paper and cardboard targets, which can be quickly secured using staples or pins for fast target changes during drills. Their mobility allows instructors to reposition them easily based on training objectives, making them ideal for force-on-force scenarios, CQB exercises, or scenario-based training. Built to perform in high-volume, real-world use, portable bullet traps offer an effective and flexible way to protect your investment while maintaining safety and training integrity.

Features

EXTENDS SHOOT HOUSE LIFE

Properly utilizing portable bullet traps will extend the life of your shoot house indefinitely.

SPLATTER FREE

All rounds are completely contained within the trap protecting shooters and other people inside the shoot house from injury from bullet splatter and ricochet.

REPLACEABLE RUBBER FACCADE

Over time the rubber layer on the outside of the trap will wear out. Replacing this is easy and much less expensive than replacing walls in the shoot house.

HOW IT WORKS

A hardened strike face and rubber façade work together to capture bullets and manage spall, so trainers can position targets anywhere in three-dimensional space without sacrificing safety or flow. The trap footprint accepts standard paper/cardboard targets for fast changes between relays.

  • 1/2-inch AR500 steel behind rubber face

  • Disintegrates bullets to dust and jackets to limit lead dust

  • Rated for live fire training in shoot houses

  • Large enough for standard paper/cardboard targets

  • Staple or pin; change targets quickly

  • Keeps lanes moving during quals/drills

  • All rounds contained inside the trap (splatter-free)

  • Cuts ricochet risk near walls and corners

  • Strategic placement reduces wall impacts by up to 90%
