A Simple Method for Soft Recovery of Small Caliber Projectiles

Abstract

There is an occasional requirement to perform soft recovery of small caliber munitions in order to examine the condition of the bullets after they have been fired. A simple method using commercially available urethane foam has been successfully implemented. The details of the foam recovery technique are fully documented for future reference.
