AI Technical Summary
Existing bullet traps for indoor shooting ranges face issues such as ricochets, damage from high-velocity bullets, wear on steel slats, maintenance challenges due to scrap buildup, and noise and vibration transmission, particularly when using rifle ammunition.
A slat arrangement with steel slats positioned in a louver-like fashion, supported by a flat steel bar at the back edge, without a frame, and accompanied by a conveyor system for easy scrap removal, vibration absorption, and noise reduction features.
Reduces ricochets, enhances resistance to high-velocity bullets, minimizes maintenance, and significantly reduces noise and vibration transmission, providing a more durable and efficient bullet trap for indoor use.
