Abstract

A clearing trap for decelerating bullets includes a housing and a bullet decelerating insert disposed within the housing. Preferably, the insert is slidably removable from the housing and is provided with a plurality of vents which help dissipate the force associated with firing a gun into a small enclosure. Also preferably, a portion of the insert is detachable or openable to facilitate periodic cleaning of the insert.
