Abstract: A bullet trap has an entry funnel with a throat of gradually reduced dimension, the funnel being tangentially secured to a tubular tank. A mouth at the exit end of the funnel throat is aligned with an opening in the tank to direct projectiles from the throat into the tank. The tank is closed at its top, and its open bottom is connected to a cone, the cone being of reduced diameter from its point of connection at the tank to its exit aperture. The cone interior may be corrugated to aid in disintegration of the projectile as the projectile expends its travel energy in rotation therein.
