The present invention relates to a novel design for a metering valve that provides improved consistency of formulation delivery. A lifting member grips the tubular and applies a lifting force. The bullet trap is designed for the shooting of blank rounds, but is adapted to handle live rounds having a bullet in a semi-automatic or automatic firearm. The penis is positioned between the first and second members so that the underside of the penis is in contact with the second member and the top surface of the penis is in contact with the first member, thereby stopping involuntary voiding of urine.
