The Bullet Catcher is designed for
use in forensic laboratories, at firing ranges or in the field. The bullet
is captured undamaged so that examinations and comparisons can be made.
Recover bullets from all pistols and rifles with a maximum bullet velocity
of 1100 meters per second.
The Bullet Catcher is a three-block, dismountable chamber. There is a Main
Block, Intermediate Block and Inlet Block. This ensures the transportability
of the unit. To ensure safe usage, the steel walls are 3 mm thick. The rear
wall of the Main Block is 10 mm thick.
There are six supports to hold
the three Blocks, four on the Main Block and two on the Intermediate Block.
For safety reasons, there are no supports on the Inlet Block to prevent it
from being used alone. There is a door on each Block to allow access when
retrieving fired bullets. The doors are equipped with clasps to prevent
their spontaneous opening when a weapon is being fired.
The chamber is filled with
nonflammable fibers similar to Kevlar®. The useful life of the fibers is
approximately 10,000 shots. The bullet is trapped, usually undamaged, in
these fibers. After some experience, the examiner will have an idea where to
quickly locate the projectile. For example, .22, .32 and .38 caliber bullets
are usually found in the first 10" of fiber. High power rifles, such as
.30-06 and 7.62 NATO, will be under the third door.
