How thick is the metal on the impact area? One of the reviews mentions 5/32" Is that correct?

I think that's right. Just under 3/16. But its not so much the thickness of the metal that makes this bullet trap work so well. It's the angle of the slant that makes the bullet ricochet into the trap below. All 22's work well in this trap regardless of the muzzle velocity.

I purchased a piece of AR-500 armor plate to fit in the trap over the impact plate. I never thought about the thickness, but others have no deformations with 22 long rifle. I have not tested the limit of the .500 thick AR-500 plate yet. My 30-30 is eager to find out. :)

It's about an 8th of an inch thick. That may not seem like much, but it's tough enough to stop baseball bats. I would know, I tried.

I measured it yesterday. It is exactly 5 inches with the dust guard and leveling bar in place.

No! I measured it... 1/2 inch, but I agree that an inch would be too thick.

It's really really thick. Maybe even 1/4 inch. I can't imagine anything breaking this beast.

Fairly generous about 3 1/2- 4 1/2 inches.Can't be certain mine broke in less than a hundred rounds

It's around 3/16" thick - I have been very happy with mine, quite stable and mounted on a solid wood door for well over a year.

it is 5.5" it's a pretty thick one, but worth the ride - just use way, way more lube than you think is reasonable and turn on a radio so nobody hears you

I didn't check it personally, but the factory dimensions claim a .25" (1/4) blade thickness. That seems about right.

I'm sorry, but I really don't know. I can tell you the mechanism is rather thick, approximately 5/8".

That is only at about the last 3/4" of the handlebar, beyond that the metal is thicker. Just so you know.

This is from the ka-bar website. the Blade Thickness is 0.165 so it is less than 3/16" thick.

I just measured mine. It is 5/16th of an inch thick. So that's slightly thicker than one-fourth of an inch.

My thickest sides are 0.5" and it does perfectly fine. I can't personally vouch for 0.75" thick, but I bet it would be strong enough.

I run a 1/2 inch impact pretty regularly. It doesn't cycle that much. It has a very hard time with a cut off tool or angle grinder.

It's about 1/16" thick. There are little nubs that stick out about 1/8. It is working well for me. It is somewhat flexible but seems to come back to flat.
