Manufacturing Research manufactures safety blank ammunition. There is no projectile that leaves the barrel. There is still a flash and pressure from the explosion of the powder, but no wadding leaves the barrel. This product can still be dangerous and proper gun safety must be adhered to. Do not aim or fire at anything or anyone as bodily injury may still occur from misuse of a firearm and its ammunition.
We have blanks that come in metal, most of which are star crimped with no wad, and we have blanks that come in plastic. The plastic blanks are injection molded plastic. They have a closed end with a built in breakaway that opens when fired. This eliminates the need for any wadding, which could leave the barrel and injure a participant. These blanks are to be used once and then disposed of.
The flash powder is manufactured for us. It is very corrosive and has a high flash with lots of smoke, which reproduces the likeness of older ammunition. We also manufacture the same blanks with a non-corrosive powder, which has less flash and less smoke, the same as modern ammunition.
