Frameless bullet trap

A slat arrangement for changing the direction of a bullet, the slat arrangement comprising:

• a plurality of elongated steel slats, wherein each elongated steel slat has a longitudinal front edge and a longitudinal back edge extending between a first end and a second end;
• and
• a support structure supporting the plurality of steel slats;
• wherein the steel slats are positioned in a louver-like fashion configured so as to be capable of changing the direction of a bullet following a trajectory normal to the slat arrangement;
• wherein the support structure is connected to each steel slat at the back edge of the steel slat and between the first end and the second end of the steel slat;
• wherein the support structure comprises an elongated steel bar that has a first front edge and that comprises a plurality of cut-outs, and each cut-out having an opening at the first front edge and encloses a portion of a steel slat located at the back edge of the steel slat;
• and
• wherein the steel slats are arranged so that a bullet following a trajectory along the normal of the slat arrangement must hit a steel slat prior to hitting the steel bar.
