RANGE SAFETY

RECOMMENDATIONS AND PRECAUTIONS

The following apply to firing ranges in general and specifically to the Reclining GranTrap bullet trap:

a. All range personnel shall wear eye protection.

b. All range personnel shall wear hearing protection.

c. The range and equipment shall be subjected only to weapons and ammunition appropriate for the designated class of service.

d. Do not discharge a weapon with its muzzle directly contacting any part of the bullet trap or equipment.

e. Vary target locations regularly (if possible) to spread out the rounds fired against the bullet trap surfaces.

f. Jacketed ammunition may form airborne backsplatter particles upon impact with impenetrable or unprotected range objects. Be aware that this backsplatter can cause injuries.

g. Cease fire Immediately if encountering backsplatter or ricochets. Adhere strictly to Inspection schedules and preventive maintenance procedures to eliminate excessive build-up of lead in the bullet trap. Proper maintenance of the bullet trap will eliminate trap-related backsplatter and ricochet problems.

h. Cease fire immediately if seeing smoke or sparks where bullets impact.

i. Cease fire Immediately when detecting a change in appearance of the bullet trap or other range equipment. This may Indicate a problem or malfunction that must be corrected before resuming firing.

j. Maintenance personnel shall inspect ranges regularly per the recommended inspection and repair sections of this manual.

k. Range safety depends chiefly upon range discipline. A written range safety program should be established and strictly adhered to at all times.

1. RECLINING GRANTRAP™ (RGT™) DESCRIPTION

The Reclining GranTrap™ is licensed and manufactured under United States Patents, 5848794,5901960,6027120,6000700,and6293552.

The RGT™, shown on drawing 10-8203, is a specially designed system of steel and recycled rubber materials. Structural steel pieces form a load-bearing frame to which galvanized sheet steel is fastened to form a containment bed. Special granulated rubber material (GranTex™) is placed on top of the containment bed. A gum rubber curtain is placed over the GranTex and is visible to the shooters.

Energy of the rounds fired into the RGT is dissipated by friction as the bullet enters the GranTex. Bullets are stopped with a minimum of deformation and are suspended in the GranTex.

The gum rubber curtain placed over the GranTex is used as a contamination barrier and is penetrated by incoming rounds. The purpose of this barrier curtain is to reduce contamination of the GranTex by target paper, target backers and shotgun wading.

The RGT has an intrinsically high safety factor in back splatter and ricochet prevention because the bullets are suspended in the GranTex and remain largely intact. An added advantage of the RGT is greatly reduced levels of lead dust because the bullets remain largely intact rather than being smashed into dust and small particles of lead.

2. WEAPON/ AMMUNITION CAPABILITY RATING FOR THE RGT:

The LE7500 Reclining GranTrap is capable of capturing handgun, rifle, shotgun, and submachine gun· projectiles. The types of projectiles include armor-piercing, jacketed, semi jacketed and non-jacketed, shot and slug. The trap assembly is capable of capturing projectiles with muzzle velocities between 900 and 3,600 feet per second (274 to 1097 meters per second) and energy levels to 3,600 foot-pounds.

Firing of fully automatic weapons should not exceed 200 rounds per minute. At this rate, do not exceed 2 hours duration during a 24-hour period.

CAUTION: The use of "tracer" type bullets on this product is prohibited.

Do not exceed the ballistic capabilities listed above.

Special configurations of this bullet trap are available to handle other types of ammunition.

Please consult Customer Service for any special requirements you may have.

3. INSPECTIONS AND MAINTENANCE OF THE RGT:

A properly conducted inspection of a RGT requires about 15 minutes. If servicing is necessary, additional time will be required. The frequency of conducting RGT inspections depends on the amount of use the RGT receives. As a general guide, use the following inspection schedule and increase or decrease the frequency depending on your specific usage patterns:

High Volume Ranges - Law enforcement academy and commercial shooting ranges require weekly inspection and servicing when indicated.

Normal Volume Ranges - Suburban police departments, security agencies and National Guard shooting ranges require monthly inspection and servicing when indicated.

4. INSPECTION CHECK LIST AND SERVICING PROCEDURES:

4.1 Target Paper and Other Debris

Inspect the area in front of the GranTrap and the Gum Rubber GranTex Cover for paper and other debris. The Gum Rubber Cover can be cleaned by sweeping downward with a long handled floor broom. Maintain a clean area in front of and on top of the GranTrap cover.

4.2 Gum Rubber GranTex™ Cover

Inspect the cover for large holes that would allow target paper and other contaminants to mix with the GranTex. Multiple patches can be used, greatly extending the service life of the cover. Holes are easily patched by following these instructions:

4.2.1 Purpose of Patching

The gum rubber curtains used on GranTraps serve as contamination barriers to reduce contamination of the GranTex by target paper, target backers and shotgun wading. Gum rubber patches are used to patch large wear holes in the gum rubber curtains.

4.2.2 Frequency of Patching

The performance of the bullet trap is not affected by wear of the gum rubber cover;

therefore, patching is based primarily on the need to prevent contamination, and to a lesser extent to preserve the trap's aesthetic appearance. It is not necessary to patch holes smaller than an open hand, if the GranTex is not being contaminated. An alternative to patching is to rotate the gum rubber curtains 180 degrees to shift the location of the wear hole on the surface of the trap away from the most active zone.

4.2.3 Patching Instructions

Step 1

Step2

Step3

Use a patch of sufficient size to overlap the hole sides by at least 6 inches.

Vacuum the surface of the gum rubber curtain to remove dust and loose particles. The area to be patched should then be wet wiped and allowed to dry. (Note: HEPA vacuums are recommended for all vacuuming in shooting ranges)

Use a non-flammable adhesive, such as 3M Fastbond™ 30-NF Neutral Contact Adhesive (Caswell p/n 922610) to fasten the patch to the gum rubber curtain. Follow the instructions provided by the adhesive manufacturer for proper application of the adhesive. Once the adhesive has dried, shooting on the GranTrap may resume.

4.3

GranTex Depth

Sufficient depth of the GranTex is required to stop the bullets without deformation.

The distance between the Reservoir Bin and the steel Bed Plates determines the depth of the GranTex.

It is critical that the GranTex must be filled to the top of the Reservoir Bin as shown on Drawing 10-8203. Add GranTex to "top off' reservoir and safety bins as needed.

4.4 Reclaiming Spent Rounds for Recycling

4.4.1 Inspection

Inspect for a build-up or large concentration of spent rounds in the GranTex by lifting the Gum Rubber Cover and probing the most active shooting zones with a metal rod.

Heavy concentrations of spent rounds will make insertion of the metal probe difficult, thus indicating a need to recycle.

4.4.2 Frequency of Recycling

The frequency of reclaiming the spent rounds depends on the quantity of, caliber of, and dispersion of rounds shot. As a general guide, recycling should be completed at 50,000 to 75,000 round intervals per shooting position. It is possible to go much longer between major recycling by conducting intermediate recycling of the high concentration areas located above the clean out doors.

4.4.3 Methods of Recycling

There are a variety of recycling methods which utilize vacuum separation of the lighter GranTex from the heavier bullets. The three methods shown below can be accomplished by one person, however, two people are recommended. The use of safety glasses and a personal dust mask is mandatory when performing recycling.

Other safety notices and recycling Instructions are included in the TrapVac Operations and Maintenance Manual. The manual should be read before operating the TrapVac.

4.4.4 Method #1 - Rear of Trap with a TrapVacTM - Preferred Method

This method is the most common and it assumes you have access behind the bullet trap.

Step #1 - Locate the "clean out doors" on the backside of the bullet trap under the active zones for each shooting position.

Step #2 - Empty about 3 cubic feet of GranTex from each clean out door onto the floor, or, preferably into a 3-4 cubic foot cart. There is no need to empty more than 3 cubic feet of GranTex from each door if recycling is done on a periodic basis.

Step #3 - Place the discharge hose of.the TrapVac into the Reservoir Bin of the GranTrap at the shootihg position you will'be recycling.

Step #4 - With the TrapVac running, work the pick-up nozzle back and forth against the GranTex. Do not plunge the nozzle completely into the GranTex as this will cause the TrapVac to choke and clog. Keep the nozzle about 1-3 inches away from the surface of the GranTex. At this distance you should be able to pick up all of the GranTex while leaving the majority of the spent bullets behind.

Step #5 - Reposition the TrapVac at the next clean out door and repeat these steps until the entire trap is done.

4.4.5 Method #2 - Rear of Trap with a 'Wet/Dry" type Vacuum

Small ranges can be recycled by using a wet/dry type vacuum to separate the GranTex from the bullets. The steps in Method #1 would be followed, except instead of placing the discharge hose in the bin, the wet/dry vacuum tank would be hand emptied in the bin.

4.4.6 Method #3 - Recycle from the Front of Bullet Trap

This method is used if there is no rear access to your bullet trap. It involves "pulling down" the bulk of the GranTex from the front of the bullet trap and using a TrapVac to separate the GranTex from the bullets and to refill the trap. If you feel this is the best method for your facility, please contact Caswell Detroit Armor Companies Customer Department for additional information custom tailored to your facility.

4.5 Reservoir Bin, Front Surface

Inspect the rubber surface of the bin for holes approximately the size of a fist. Holes can easily be patched by fastening rubber patches over holes.

4.6 Steel Plate Containment Bed - Rear of Trap

Inspect the rear surface of the steel bedplates for dents and perforations. There are two causes for either condition:

1. GranTex level too low causing bullets to hit the steel plate - Remedy this condition by refilling both the Safety and Reservoir Bins on the bullet trap

2. Shooting prohibited rounds at the bullet trap

If dents or holes are detected, immediately correct situation that is causing the denting or perforations and patch any perforations as needed.
