The gun clearing bullet trap is a safety device featuring a steel housing and ballistic rubber or mulch interior, designed to safely absorb and contain unintended live rounds during firearm clearing (unloading).
It prevents accidental discharge in public or range environments by offering a secure, enclosed area for the muzzle to fire into, effectively capturing the bullet without harm.
They vary from compact, portable units designed for vehicles to large, fixed installations intended for ranges and armouries, frequently incorporating a soft entry point to safeguard barrels and robust construction to withstand high-velocity projectiles.
Anyone planning to clear long firearms, whether they are police officers, gunsmiths, or shooters, should use this trap as a precaution. It is essential to properly clean a firearm before handling it to avoid the serious and often fatal consequences of an accidental or careless discharge.
The 10mm AR500 steel trap has an interior covered with Sunflex ballistic rubber to catch the round. Years of testing have shown that these materials not only stop shots, but also prevent ricochet and back spatter.
Despite its failsafe design, this clearing mechanism is long-lasting and may withstand several rounds before requiring examination. Engineered to take rifle ammunition up to .308 / 7.62 calibre.
