A bullet head-collecting apparatus capable of easily collecting bullet heads and of controlling the extent to which the force of impact is absorbed depending on the kind of bullet head is disclosed. The bullet head-collecting apparatus includes a case configured to have a hexahedral shape with open front and upper faces, a cover plate removably mounted on the open upper face of the case, a buffer unit disposed in the case so as to absorb the force of impact of a bullet head, and a bullet head impact control unit, which includes at least one pair of first fixed brackets internally mounted on both lateral side surfaces of the case in front of the buffer unit and at least one first bullet head control plate removably fitted into the pair of first fixed brackets.

A dead stop assembly includes a deceleration member which is attachable at one end to a rail such that when a target retriever applies force to the deceleration member, the target retriever is decelerated. The deceleration member may be disposed in a housing which further engages the rail when the housing is impacted by a target retriever.

A multilayer ballistic barrier comprising at least one barrier plate (1) having a thickness of up to 250 mm, made of an elastomeric material containing butadiene and a binder, and a fill (2) having a minimum thickness of 50 mm in the form of mineral aggregates of various fractions ranging from 0.5 to 80 mm. The application also relates to a method of making the multilayer ballistic barrier and its use for the construction of bullet-proof walls and floors intercepting projectiles with a kinetic energy up to 50 000 J.

A fluid lubricated projectile trap includes a substantially cylindrical chamber defined by a forward concave wall and a rearward concave wall. A bullet funnel extending forwardly therefrom. The funnel having a lower panel connecting to the forward concave wall in conjunction with an end plate defines a pressurized fluid containment with discharge outlets directed to the rearward concave wall. All plumbing may be secured below the ramp and forward of the chamber.

A bullet trap is disclosed which is formed without intervening sidewalls to enable cross-shooting and the like with reduced risk or ricochet or damage to the bullet trap. Furthermore, the bullet trap can be configured in a variety of ways to eliminate the need for facing plates while providing a removable attachment mechanism, to enable repair on the trap, to reduce bullet adhesion to the trap and to provide improved containment of lead and improved access to the trap.
