A bullet trap (1) is provided that connects to a muzzle end (5) of a weapon (3). The bullet trap (1) has a body (11) with a chamber (17) into which a bullet can be fired. The chamber (17) has a plurality of baffles (27) located one behind the other in an aligned series arrangement. The baffles (27) absorb kinetic energy of a fired bullet and enable the bullet to be trapped within the body (11). The baffles (27) have a thickness at a center of axis of travel of a bullet less than the thickness at a radially outwardly distant position to provide for a deformation at the center of a first of a series of baffles (27) before there will be engagement of a center of second and subsequent baffles (27).
