Abstract

A round absorbing Airsoft target trap assembly is provided that includes a target frame and a backstop for receiving and reducing the velocity of Airsoft rounds passing through the target frame.

Claims

1. A round absorbing Airsoft target trap assembly, comprising:

a target frame; and

a backstop pivotally connected to the target frame to permit adjustment to an angle of inclination between the backstop and the target frame.

2. The round absorbing Airsoft target trap assembly of claim 1, wherein the backstop is pivotally suspended from the target frame.

3. The round absorbing Airsoft target trap assembly of claim 1, wherein the backstop is made of low density polyethylene.

4. The round absorbing Airsoft target trap assembly of claim 1, further comprising a backstop support guide for retaining the backstop at a selected angle of inclination.

5. The round absorbing Airsoft target trap assembly of claim 4, wherein the selected angle of inclination at which the backstop support guide retains the backstop is approximately 35 degrees.

6. The round absorbing Airsoft target trap assembly of claim 4, wherein the backstop support guide deforms at least a portion of the backstop into an arcuate shape with a concave surface for receiving incoming Airsoft rounds.

7. The round absorbing Airsoft target trap assembly of claim 1, further comprising a collection bin positioned below the backstop and the target frame.

8. The round absorbing Airsoft target trap assembly of claim 1, further comprising support bar bracket mounted to the target frame, and a backstop support bar pivotally connected to the support bar bracket and attached to the backstop.

9. A round absorbing Airsoft target trap assembly, comprising:

a target frame; and

a low density polyethylene backstop positioned to receive Airsoft rounds passing through the target frame.

10. The round absorbing Airsoft target trap assembly of claim 9, wherein the low density polyethylene backstop is not penetrable by an Airsoft BB traveling at 500 feet per second.

11. The round absorbing Airsoft target trap assembly of claim 9, wherein the low density polyethylene backstop is deformed to provide a concave contact surface for receiving the Airsoft rounds passing through the target.

12. The round absorbing Airsoft target trap assembly of claim 9, wherein the low density polyethylene backstop is arranged at an approximately 35 degree angle of inclination relative to the target frame.

13. The round absorbing Airsoft target trap assembly of claim 9, further comprising a mesh collection bag positioned below the target frame and the low density polyethylene backstop for receiving the Airsoft rounds after the Airsoft rounds have passed through the target frame and collided with the low density polyethylene backstop.

14. A round absorbing Airsoft target trap assembly, comprising:

a target frame;

a backstop positioned behind of the target frame to receive Airsoft rounds passing through the target frame; and

a collection bin positioned below the target frame and the backstop for receiving the Airsoft rounds after having passed through the target frame and collided with the backstop, the collection bin comprising a forward portion with a substantially horizontally extending lip portion in front of the target frame.

15. The round absorbing Airsoft target trap assembly of claim 14, wherein the target frame, the backstop, and the collection bin are connected to one another with loop-and-hook fasteners.

16. The round absorbing Airsoft target trap assembly of claim 14, wherein the collection bin comprises a mesh fabric bag, and wherein the backstop comprises low density polyethylene.

17. The round absorbing Airsoft target trap assembly of claim 14, further comprising side mesh panels extending between a rear surface of the target frame and a front edge of the backstop.

18. The round absorbing Airsoft target trap assembly of claim 14, wherein the backstop is pivotally connected to the target frame to permit adjustment to an angle of inclination between the backstop and the target frame.

19. The round absorbing Airsoft target trap assembly of claim 14, further comprising a collection bin extension connected to and extending in front of the target frame, wherein the collection bin comprises a mesh fabric bag folded over the collection bin extension to establish the lip barrier.

20. The round absorbing Airsoft target trap assembly of claim 19, further comprising a backstop support guide connected to and extending behind the target frame, the backstop support guide deforming the backstop into an arcuate shape with a concave contact surface for receiving the Airsoft rounds passing through the target frame.
