A Cheap And Easy-To-Make BB Trap For Airsoft Guns

TheDevil · May 29, 2004, 11:50 PM

I recently purchased a very low cost 007 type air pistol to practice shooting at home, and in particular, shooting while moving. It's a good shooter, and has performed well up till now.

Also, I found that the plastic BB's are extra lively; and to keep them from bouncing all over the place, a backstop of some type was called for.

So, I developed (after several tires), a very simple, cheap, and easy to make BB trap to capture them.

The trap works fine for me, and it is big enough to capture most shots even while moving rapidly.

Two photos of the trap with dimensions to assist anyone in building a similar trap can be found at http://www.pointshooting.com/airsoft.htm

A source for FREE 8-1/2 x 11" targets to use with the trap is Bright Sights. Bright Sights makes High Visibility Gun Sight Coatings. A link is on the web page.

Cardboard box with newspaper inside.

Don't scorn it. Some of us wouldn't need someone to provide plans or pictures for something like that. Some would. For those, this is nice.

A loosely hung moving company type blanket does a good job, too.

Uh, no. Not the cheap junk you get at U-Haul!
