Quite box bullet trap (self.general)

4 comments fedilink hide all child comments

I want to build a box that i can test fire into that will reduce the noise considerably so i can test fire into my garage. Has anyone built something like this. Is it feasible im thinking something i can insert my hand and pistols into that will catch the bullets and not disturb/alert my neighbors. Any ideas of what would be required Im thinking something similar to the “ftn shut your trap” but not something that sits at the end of the barrel something that encompasses the entire gun like a mini soundproof room

You can make a cheap bullet trap with a Home Depot 5 gallon bucket and rubber mulch. It will stop small calibers and give you something safe to shoot at. As far as reducing noise I’ve just used an FTN and subsonic ammo. Not perfect but it helps. Let me know if you come up with anything interesting.

In addition to this, hanging some old blankets surrounding your test area may be of marginal help, the thicker the better.
