Want To Shoot Inside? Backyard or Indoor Bullet Trap for Air Rifles and .22 Rimfire

[@chriswf]

First comment: we made our trap with hanging/dangling rubber tire flaps lol. Dead quiet, very effective. Second, that rimfire rifle is surprisingly silent. Third, your videos are so well done. Professional grade content here.

I Built a slightly larger one, but i added 1/4 in steel plate with a slight downward angle (the top of the plate is closer to the opening than the bottom of the plate.) at the back to be used under the Duct seal. The seal works great for spalling. I can shoot any one of our suppressed 22 rifles or pistols in the garage with no problems at all. Great Video

[@SC-bg8wf]

A very professional video. Thanks.

[@XCougar85X]

Absolutey nice box. Will be making something similiar myself. Looks very good. Absolutely amazed how quiet that .22 is with supressor and ammo is.

[@marklawrence855]

Brilliant idea 💡 👏

[@robcoastalga8279]

You have shot those rifles or their counterparts an absolute sheeet ton. Edit: Very proficient!! Excellent idea. I'm looking 5o replace my home made pellet trap. I use it to trap semi auto .25cal 19-34grain pellets and .357 bolt 70-110 grain pellets. Great idea for something quiet!! I have a stand up attic that is OSB throughout and I just recently started using it for a range. 105 feet, it's perfect!

[@Nonsheep1]

Thank you, Thank you. Thank you...

[@marcmoore5702]

I built 7:29 one using rubber stall mats. 3/4 inch thick, 15 pieces. Will stop up to 357 cal. Maybe larger.

[@garypostell5268]

Great idea ! 💯🇺🇸

[@jeffestrada6857]

Thankyou very much appreciated 👍

[@petrisuominen5237]

Nice design ! Do you have any idea if duct seal or suitable replacement is sold anywhere in Europe ?

[@MrDbtn]

I would think so but can not say for sure.

[@wakimbrell]

6 bullseye shots with the 3 bottom shots going through 1 hole...holy smokes!

[@MrDbtn]

Wasn't that far away. That helps

[@paulstakun8249]

After shooting hundreds of high power pellets in this, will it spit out lead particles?

[@dobermanguy9437]

It's cheaper in my opinion to buy a bag of rubber mulch build a box fill with rubber mulch and you're good to go no pallet will go through a box of rubber mulch

[@OobliHD]

Any idea on how thick the duct seal is layered? Great video.

[@MrDbtn]

Approximately 3"

[@JC-lf8pr]

Thanks for the great demonstration in your video. I am making a couple of new silent pellet traps this weekend and using some of your ideas. That CZ 455 was almost silent as well. What suppressor are you using? I would love to convert mine to that level silence.

[@MrDbtn]

It’s a Dead Air MaskHD. I have a couple and they work great

[@CDavis-vc8gl]

What are the dimensions? I would like to attempt to build one or two. Thanking you in advance for any information you provide. Also, Happy Holliday's!

[@MrDbtn]

It is 11" wide by 13 3/4" tall. For me the only consideration dimension wise is being about to fit the 11 1/2" by 8" targets I print out.

[@LesterHe]

Great experiment, air rifle for sure, CCI quiet-22LR for sure, how about lead dust problem if shooting in door with this?

[@MrDbtn]

That could be why my lead count is high. LOL. I certainly would not use it inside for protracted shooting or even on a regular basis. For me if I do use it inside it is on rainy days but I have the garage doors open and some air movement.

[@rchrdjms62]

Hopefully you have your notifications turned on and will get this a year later. There are coated bullets subsonic but the cores are lead. Rounds made with no lead would be too long for a standard 22 arm. So the weight makes them faster. If you want to shoot inside I would recommend the air rifles. You can get many different kinds of pellets made of substances other than lead.

[@SC-bg8wf]

Is there a danger of pellets rebounding if they hit one of the paper clips ? That aside it seems to be a great design.

[@trevorrussell7512]

I don't think we can get duct seal in the UK

[@rchrdjms62]

Here a year later did you try ordering some kind of sealing compound from Amazon? I don't know if they ship or if the cost could be prohibitive or not. Non-hardening modeling clay?

[@syedirfanahmad9626]

How the duct seal sticks with the back?

[@rchrdjms62]

I know this is a year later but the duct seal is just sticky and easily sticks to the wood. I've loaded up at Lowe's.

[@LifeSavingDefense]

Just bought some duct seal the other day…. Not cheap. Good box. I don’t know where you live but run for office and change the stupid laws. I shoot anything I want in my backyard including airsoft.

[@rchrdjms62]

Technically speaking where I live airsoft is not lawful. I can throw a rock into the another area where pellets are legal. But I figured that if somebody knew I was shooting a pellet gun they would just say stop that. I would be able to explain to them how I was reasonably sure that where I shot was safe.

[@mw3isbetterthanmw22]

Why have a 22 with a suppressor? I have cci subs and there very quiet. Seem like suppressor would be overkill ?

[@JHUM22]

You can shoot a full velocity round which cycles all semi auto .22 but still do it quietly

[@mw3isbetterthanmw22]

@@JHUM22 Intresting might aswell get one for 556 aye ? Or it doesn’t work that way I’m sorry I’m not to knowledgeable on suppressors

[@JHUM22]

@@mw3isbetterthanmw22 a normal 556 round is going to be loud no matter what because it’s already moving at 3200 fps. A suppressor definitely helps but it will never be hearing safe. Velocity and short barrels are what really impact sound. My AR pistol is deafening

[@mw3isbetterthanmw22]

@@JHUM22 but I mean have a 556 suppressor and use it for both 556 and 22 since both have the same diameter just obvi differences which I would assume a 556 suppressor could handle

[@JHUM22]

@@mw3isbetterthanmw22 .22lr is extremely dirty and so their suppressors are made to break down easily for cleaning. Your 556 can is going to be nasty and not as effective

[@ScrtAznMn]

Have you tried this with high velocity .22LR? Or heavier grain .22 lr bullets?

[@MrDbtn]

I have not. There is a limit to what it will stop and while it may stop a higher velocity round, I am confident it will not stop many. Multiple layers of the duct seal may work if you are looking at stopping the higher velocity rounds.

[@alepepperoni2563]

Just fill 5gal bucket with rubber mulch or sand.

[@rchrdjms62]

I used a .22 pellet rifle, 1100'/sec. on a similar box and it blew through it. I had probably used less duct seal on my box. For an added safety measure I set my box on the ground and piled wood behind it so that there was no chance of an over penetration going anywhere.

[@vcolet2011]

can you tell me how many layers did you use

[@rchrdjms62]

On mine, I went by thickness, I think a couple inches. If cost is no problem you could stick the layer of the entire blocks.

[@beboba2498]

How to get lead pieces out of it ?

[@rchrdjms62]

I don't. You can just change the duct seal.

[@needler267]

Still not safe. A bullet trap is still like a target. Where is the backstop for when you miss the trap.

[@MrDbtn]

A level of common sense is required not only for this but using any firearm. I don’t recommend setting it up in front of family members or priced possessions. I say that jokingly.An outside. berm equipped range is not safe if you don’t keep your shots within the range and send them over the berm. Place the target in an area where a miss is safe and acceptable. It also helps if you don’t miss.

[@rchrdjms62]

I placed mine on the ground so the projectile will go no more than 2 to 3' passed the trap.

[@MSScout86]

Did you stack the duck seal in the back?

[@MrDbtn]

Yes. Blocks stacked. Only one layer though.

[@josephacavell7752]

No, he stated that he "wanted" to do so. Moot point now anyway.
