Ask every supplier you compare for the same rows. What each document proves, and what it does not, is explained in how to verify a ballistic equipment supplier.

Is BulletTrap Baltic a manufacturer or a supplier?

A supplier: BulletTrap Baltic (MB Murakana) specifies, documents and delivers equipment made by manufacturers in 3 EU countries, Latvia, the Czech Republic and Lithuania.

The ballistic rubber blocks BRB-200 and the anti-ricochet tiles BRT-40 and BRT-45 are manufactured in Latvia. The Bullet Crusher clearing barrels (BC-1, BC-2 ARMY, BC-1 Tactical, BC-1 Pistol) and the BC7-GM and BC8-Shot mobile test ranges are made by Dependable Solutions s.r.o. in the Czech Republic, which holds ISO 9001:2015. Ballistic roller shutters are made to order in Lithuania. NCAGE 6916G is registered to Dependable Solutions s.r.o. as a NATO manufacturer, so the code points to the party that makes the clearing barrel; BulletTrap Baltic is the supplier. The BulletTrap Baltic team brings 25 years of hands-on range experience to the specification.

Who tested BulletTrap Baltic ballistic rubber, and what did the tests show?

The Department of Weapon Systems and Ballistics of the Royal Military Academy in Brussels, an ISO/IEC 17025 laboratory (BELAC 273-TEST) and VPAM member, fired 67 shots in 5 calibres at 10 m for two reports.

ReportDateSample and methodShotsResult
ES-23040303.04.2023Anti-ricochet tiles, 40 and 45 mm, ricochet threshold by impact angle39 (24 on 45 mm, 15 on 40 mm)40 mm: the projectile stays in the tile from 13.3° (5.56×45, .223, 7.62×51) and from 10.7° (7.62×39, 9×19). 45 mm: from 13.8° (5.56×45, .223, 7.62×39, 9×19) and from 15.1° (7.62×51 NATO)
ES-24013102.02.2024Ballistic rubber block, 200 mm; orientation test, perpendicular shots (90°) with VPAM ARG Fassung 3 (Stand 15.03.2021) as the reference28 (14 without plate, 14 with a 500 HB plate)0 ricochets with 9×19 DM41, 7.62×39 M43, 5.56×45 SS109 and 7.62×51 DM111. The block was perforated in every shot; with the plate behind it, the plate stopped every projectile and stayed intact

VPAM ARG asks for safe capture at impact angles from 90° to 25° (point 4.2). The tile thresholds of 10.7° to 15.1° from ES-230403 lie below that range, beyond what ARG requires. In the block test the rubber slowed and destabilised the bullet and its front face closed again behind it, and the steel plate stopped the bullet, so block and plate are specified together. Shot-by-shot data is on ballistic rubber blocks and anti-ricochet tiles; how impact angle decides ricochet is on how to stop ricochet in an indoor shooting range.

Do BulletTrap Baltic clearing barrels have a NATO Stock Number?

The BC-2 ARMY does: NSN 1095-16-008-5453, and its manufacturer, Dependable Solutions s.r.o., holds NCAGE 6916G.

The BC-2 ARMY covers .22 LR to .50 BMG at 17,000 J; the BC-1 covers .22 LR to .338 LM at 11,000 J. An NSN identifies one item in the NATO supply catalogue and an NCAGE identifies one organisation; neither is a ballistic test result. A procurement file therefore also carries the manufacturer’s ISO 9001:2015 certificate and the product documentation, which is available in Czech and English. The NCAGE certificate is a PDF on the documents page. Where a buyer checks both codes is set out in clearing barrels with a NATO stock number; the four models are compared on clearing barrels.

Where does BulletTrap Baltic deliver, and do you pay import duty?

BulletTrap Baltic ships from Lithuania across the EU, with no customs or import duty inside the EU, and to any country outside the EU on request.

Weight drives the logistics of rubber: 100 m² of 45 mm tiles weighs about 3.9 t and 40 blocks about 1.7 t, so the distance between the shipping point and your site counts in the delivered cost. Buying from an EU supplier rather than importing from the US is compared in clearing barrel: EU supplier or US import, and the rubber market in Europe in where to buy ballistic rubber in Europe.

What documents does BulletTrap Baltic provide for a tender?

For ballistic rubber, 4 documents: the test reports by number and date, CE marking with the declaration of performance (DoP), the floor fire class and the manufacturer’s quality certificate; clearing barrels add the NSN and the NCAGE certificate.

BulletTrap Baltic works in two roles. A construction company can bring it in as a specialised ballistic-protection subcontractor under the main contract; a contracting authority can use it directly as consultant and tender partner for the range. In both cases BulletTrap Baltic specifies, documents and supplies the ballistic protection. The roles and the steps from enquiry to award are on shooting range design, fit-out and tender support; CPV codes and procurement portals are on tenders and CPV codes.

Can BulletTrap Baltic make equipment to fit my building?

Roller shutters are made to order in Lithuania to the size of each opening, in 3 configurations: windows, doors and gates, and weapon issue hatches.

The slats are European AR500 armour steel with an interlocking profile, and their thickness follows the protection class, which is set under EN 1522 in the specification. Drives are manual, motorised, or motorised with manual emergency operation. Ballistic rubber comes in formats that are combined on site: tiles of 500 × 500, 500 × 1000 and 1000 × 1000 mm in black, red, green or grey (the colour is cosmetic, the ballistics are the same) and blocks of 500 × 500 × 200 mm. Product details are on ballistic roller shutters; what EN 1522, EN 1063 and VPAM classes mean is on ballistic protection standards.

How does BulletTrap Baltic calculate the equipment for my range?

From the trap face and the areas to be lined: 4 BRB-200 blocks per m² of trap face, about 170 kg/m² before the steel, and tiles at about 34.4 kg/m² (40 mm) or 38.9 kg/m² (45 mm).

Send the calibres fired, indoor or outdoor, the width and height of the trap face and the wall, ceiling and floor areas. BulletTrap Baltic returns the block and tile count and the delivery weight with the quotation. The method is shown step by step in how many ballistic rubber tiles and blocks a range needs. What the total is made of is in the cost of a rubber bullet trap and range lining, and the long-run comparison of backstops is in backstop cost of ownership over 10 years. The plate behind the blocks is covered in steel plate thickness behind a rubber bullet trap.
