Armor steel bullet traps designed for mobility and circularity
2 min read
The Swedish company Flexotrap, identified the key requirements for modern bullet trap systems and designed its solutions around them. Using Ramor SR500 armor steel from SSAB, the company combines mobility and rapid setup with lower-weight steel grates and collection of bullet residue for recycling.
Mobile bullet traps for flexible shooting training
Safely trapping bullets is the primary objective. Training facilities also need to be easy to transport and set up where they are needed, including during military exercises involving forces from Sweden and other NATO countries.
Fixed locations are not always the answer. Flexotrap systems are easy to transport and assemble on site. Some are delivered as complete kits in 20-foot containers, ready for use within a day. No groundwork is necessary; practically any flat surface will do.
Flexotrap bullet trap systems support flexible shooting training facilities without the need for permanent groundwork.
Angled steel grates direct bullet debris downwards for collection inside the trap.
Smart design and armor steel reduce weight
“During our development of the Flexotrap systems, it became clear that the choice of steel was vital. The traps use a set of angled steel gratings that direct bullet debris to the bottom for collection. The armor steel we use is Ramor SR500 from SSAB, a Swedish steel manufacturer with a strong international reputation for quality and reliability,” says Daniel Lyckhammar, Head of Marketing at Flexotrap.
Ramor SR500 is a grade in SSAB’s Armox® product program. Its hardness and toughness allowed Flexotrap to use thinner steel in the grates. The reduced weight makes the grates easier to transport, install and remove when a trap is moved to another location. When the grates eventually need to be replaced, they are 100% recyclable.

Flexotrap systems combine operational performance with a design that supports the collection and recycling of metal residue. Bullet debris is retained inside the traps for easy retrieval, while the steel grates can also be recycled at the end of their service life.
