This system is suitable for capturing high caliber/high velocity rounds. In the images you can see the X-Y axis bore centering device to ensure proper bore alignment. On request, different weapons holder suitable for every specified application. The range is the following:
| Products | Item | Description | Dimensions | Weight |
| DPRS | DP-05 | Low to Medium Caliber Rifle Unit up to 7 mm Mag 30/06 | 0.6 x 0.6 x 2.4 (m) two units | 636 kg |
| DPRS | DP-07 | Medium to High Caliber Rifle Unit up to 458 WinMag | 0.6 x 0.6 x 3 (m) two units | 726 kg |
Some additional detail:
- Repack Lifecycle
Up to 1,000 rounds (depending on caliber)
Also keep in mind that it isn't necessary to replace all cartridges due to the fact that rifles up
to 223 caliber, tend to stop between 2.4 and 2.8 meters.
The examples below show various type, caliber, weight and velocity bullets, which were fired into a conventional water filled bullet recovery tank costing US$ 30,000. When compared to the same type rounds that were fired from the very same firearms, into our recovery system, which costs far less than the conventional water tank system and, as you can see, produces a vastly superior ballistic/forensic sample.
All ammunition shown on this page, as well as all of the ammunition fired during testing and development was full power, factory-loaded ammunition, not downloads!

Bullet:
Sierra 69 Gr. HP boat tail

Bullet: Sierra 160
Gr. HPBT Gamekeeping #1925 Notes: When captured, this round dissipated 1.5 tons of kinetic energy into the DPRS with flawless results. |

All hand-loads that were used were loaded to the maximum allowable powder charge. This was done to demonstrate that it is no longer necessary to bother with the hassle, danger and time consuming nature of using downloading for forensic testing.
All of the recovered samples shown on this web site were fired at point-blank range - 4 feet, or less. This was done to demonstrate the capability of this system to capture various types of rounds, at their maximum velocity and energy levels.
Other examples captured by the DPRS Rifle (click on images for larger view).

Bullet:
200 Gr. Core Lokt SP Notes: The velocity was dissipated on this projectile at the rate of 218.94 FPS/FT, the energy at the rate of 202.21 FT/LBS per linear foot of travel. |

Bullet: 55 Gr.
.223 Ballistic Tip
|
|
|
Bullet:
Sierra 150 Gr. SBT Gameking #1913 Notes: Not only are the striations on this projectile in undamaged condition, but the exposed lead on the front is still intact, as well, demonstrating once again the non-abrasive and nondestructive nature of the DPRS. |
|
|
Bullet: 30-30 150
Gr. Winchester CXP2 Notes: Prior to the development of the DPRS, it was impossible to capture high-velocity soft-point ammunition intact. |
|
|
Bullet: 5.56 mm
.223 caliber SS109 IMI Notes: These rounds were fired in rapid succession (all 6 in less than 2 seconds), to demonstrate the ability of the DPRS to safely and efficiently capture rapidly fired, high-velocity armor-piercing ammunition. |
|
|
Bullet:
55 Gr. .223 FMJ Notes: Unlike the water tank method which leaves around 5% of the bullet available for ballistic fingerprinting, the DPRS recovers the entire bullet intact. |
|
|
Bullet: 8 mm 154
Gr. Steel-core Armor Piercing Notes: This round was fired to demonstrate the ability of our system to capture heavy caliber, armor-piercing rounds, safely and in excellent condition. If this round had been fired into one of the small water tanks (which costs the same as our top-of-the-line system), then there is a very good chance of the lab having a very wet floor, or a very smashed bullet. This plainly demonstrates the cost effectiveness and the versatility of our system over the water tank. |
|
|
Bullet: 762 x 39 Notes: The 7.62 x 39 round, known to be notoriously difficult to capture in usable condition when fired into water tanks, is captured perfectly every time with the DPRS. Several types of rounds are shown here: FMJ, HPBT, and Flat Base. |
All samples shown above are real full factory loadings and can be demonstrated upon request.
The samples shown on this web site are just a small demonstration of the capability of this recovery method. However, it is also capable of capturing ammunition that is well outside the scope of what appears above. Want an example?
Following are four pictures of recent tests we have made with our standard model DP-07.
In the first picture (up-left) we see a .50 cal shot fired with a BMG. As you can see, it was stopped and recovered in pristine condition, almost with no sign of the firing.
In the following pictures (up-right and bottom-left) a size comparison is made between a .50 cal, a 7,62 round and a 23 mm. Why this comparison? Because we succeded in stopping and recovering a 23 mm round, again in pristine condition (see picture bottom-right).
