Bullet trap for a shooting stand

Claim 1

A bullet trap for a firing stand, comprising successions of metal sheets slanted alternately to the front and to the rear and forming a succession of dihedrons, metal sheets joined together two by two at their front end and being close to each other two by two at their rear end while being separated by a space forming a passage for the bullets, a first metal sheet out of two being extended rearwardly, beyond the passage, by a curved portion forming a deflector, the second metal sheet being interrupted at the level of the passage, the angle at the apex of the dihedrons being less than 60°, the bisecting plane of the dihedrons being parallel to the mean shooting direction and the deflector being formed by a semi cylinder connected to the corresponding first metal sheet along its tangent for deflecting the bullets and reversing their direction of travel while throwing them back against the rear face of the second metal sheet not provided with deflectors, wherein angle irons are firmly secured to the rear face of the second metal sheets parallel to the apex of the dihedrons and disposed after the line of impact of the bullets on the rear face of the metal sheets, so as to form a deflector throwing the bullets back onto the rear face of the first metal sheets.
