American Range Systems

The Strongest & Safest Bullet Trap Ever Made

How It Works

Patented Design Built To Stop Anything

Phase One

A uniquely designed, self-healing ballistic face front slows down projectiles on impact

Phase Two

The projectile collides back & forth with the ballistic compound medium, rapidly slowing its momentum

Phase Three

In the rare occasion a projectile reaches the back of an ARS unit, patented rear-angled AR-500 steel panels deflect back into the ballistic medium

Bullet traps engineered to last:

Weatherproof – Built with durable, weather-resistant materials
Fireproof – Each unit is built with heat resistant materials
Easy Access Face Replacement – Top door access allows for quick and easy maintenance
Patented Angled Deflection Plate – AR-500 steel panels push projectiles back through the medium, slowing them down further
Secure Stand – Three leg design eliminates wobbles and can be equipped with pads or wheels for maneuverability
Environmentally Friendly – All projectiles are contained inside the unit until maintenance is performed for disposal or recycle, nearly eliminating lead spray.
Pistol – All A.R.S. traps are equipped to handle pistol rounds
Rifle – All A.R.S. traps can withstand rifle rounds except the Ranger Series
Full Auto Fire – A.R.S. traps are built to withstand single shot, burst or full auto fire
