Performance and safety
Designed to offer consistent ballistic containment, the 556 tube combines resilient polymeric layers with an energy-dissipating geometry to minimise ricochet and internal fragmentation. The device is intended to protect personnel and surrounding infrastructure during routine discharge operations.
Installation
The unit can be anchored to horizontal or vertical surfaces and adapted for mounting in vehicles or fixed installations. Ensure proper anchoring compatible with the expected dynamic loads and follow Arcas Gruber’s installation recommendations.
Maintenance
Inspect the device regularly for signs of wear, cracks or deformation. Do not exceed the specified life limit (10 years or 25 impacts). Replace the unit immediately if any damage is detected or following impacts outside of specification.
Integration
The 556 tube complements Arcas Gruber’s broader safety ecosystem and can be paired with our gun safes and other shooting gallery products to create a certified and secure weapons handling environment.
