The escalator bullet trap is recommended for large shooting ranges. Its main quality is to present no edges facing the shooter and therefore to limit the risk of ricochet. The heavy version is resistant to ammunition up to 7.62 mm caliber.
Escalator bullet trap
Working of an escalator bullet trap
This V-shaped bullet trap diverts the trajectory of the bullets to a deceleration chamber, where they lose their energy and finally fall into the recovery bin.
For maximum safety, we recommend placing rubber curtains in front of the bullet trap. We also recommend the installation of baffles and ballistic wall panels.
This bullet trap exists in different versions. Its great advantage is to present no edges facing the shooter, which allows shots from all angles.
