Abstract
A new Bullet Trap System for allowing a user to perform target practice with a gun without fear of the bullets straying and injuring another person or property. The inventive device includes a funnel device having an enlarged end and a narrow end, a storage container is attached to the narrow end, and a support stand securing the funnel device. The enlarged end receives the bullet from the gun whereafter the bullet engages a slanted wall of the funnel device thereby slowing the travel of the bullet. The bullet thereafter projects into the storage container through the narrow end where the user may empty upon filling with the bullets.
