ABSTRACT:
A safety containment system for use during the loading and unloading of firearms, such as handguns, rifles and the like, is made in the form of an elongated hollow steel cylinder. One end of the cylinder is closed with a steel plate; and a rubber-like disk is located between the closed end of the cylinder and the open end to form a bullet containment compartment adjacent the closed end of the cylinder. This compartment is filled with randomly oriented hardened metal objects with sharp edges, such as elongated concrete nails having a substantially rectangular cross section. The other end of the housing has an elongated rubber tube acting as a guide member, secured to the rubber-like disk and to the housing member, for accommodating the muzzle end of a barrel of a firearm inserted therein. Vent holes are located through the housing and through the guide member in the region adjacent the rubber-like disk to permit the release of gases in the event of an accidental discharge of a firearm, the muzzle end of the barrel of which is inserted into the guide member during loading and unloading of the firearm. In the event of an accidental discharge, the bullet passes through the rubber-like disk into the containment compartment, where the sharp edges of the randomly oriented metal objects effect a rapid disintegration of the bullet.
