GranTrap™ represents the best technology available for bullet capture and containment. Utilizing granulate rubber material to stop incoming rounds, the bullet impacts the soft media and is captured predominately intact, minimizing airborne lead dust and averting backsplatter and ricochet. This provides a cleaner, safer, and quieter environment for shooting ranges, and maximizes bullet recovery and recycling processes.
GranTrap™ system safely de-energizes the bullets and captures them intact with virtually no lead dust or bullet fragmentation. This allows shooters to advance downrange and engage targets at extremely close distances, even at acute angles with no concern of bullet backsplatter caused from bullets impacting GranTrap™.
Model 7500 Reclining GranTrap™ utilizes a thick layer of granulate rubber material called GranTex™. The GranTex™ is supported by an inclined stepped structure and covered with a self-healing rubber cover that allows penetration by projectiles while keeping shooting debris and other contaminants out of the GranTex™.
In addition to its environmental advantages, Reclining GranTrap™ allows more efficient reclamation of spent projectiles. Rear access doors in the support structure are conveniently located behind the target region to allow for easy access to the primary collection area. A secondary benefit realized by Reclining GranTrap™ is the elimination of noise associated with bullet impact and deceleration on steel bullet traps. This is particularly important when the range shares a common wall with other occupants of the building.
Reclining GranTrap™ was specifically designed with several important safety features. This primary collection area, or target region, contains a larger volume of GranTex™ to absorb the rounds and greatly extend the service time interval. To maintain a consistent depth of GranTex™ across the trap, a supply bin provides a continuous replenishment. In addition, a supplemental bin, also known as the “safety bin”, is located behind the primary supply bin and maintains ballistic integrity of the trap.
When a significant amount of shooting will be conducted from walk-up distances, Model LE7500-OTR Reclining GranTrap™ provides added coverage. An armour plate upper slope sheet extends from the rear-side of the trap across the entire width of the trap to protect the ceiling, exhaust ducts, and other protrusions that may be venerable to being hit.
The “footprint” of Reclining GranTrap™ is considerably smaller than that of steel traps, with a depth of only 3.8m. This compares to almost 9.1m for a steel rifle trap offered by other companies.
Reclining GranTrap™ is available for indoor or outdoor installation in standard eight, nine, and twelve foot heights, as well as special-purpose versions including models capable of accommodating rounds up to .50 calibre.
