A: Thanks for reaching out David! I cannot guarantee certain results as I have not personally tested this ammo in your firearms, although I'd expect your SP5 and PTR to cycle this ammo reliably so long as you're using an adapter. DAG surely expected plenty of this blank ammo to wind up in MP5s.

A: Thanks for reaching out Dior! This blank ammo will fire in blank-firing firearms. The plastic bullet is just a hollow shell. It's only there so semi-automatic and automatic firearms can feed the blanks. It will be mostly or entirely destroyed during ignition.

A: Thanks for reaching out Ginger! This is precisely the blank ammo you would need for a starter pistol that's designed to fire 9mm blanks. These blanks would fail to cycle a semi-automatic unless it were heavily modified, but that isn't an issue at all when it comes to revolvers.

A: Thanks for reaching out Marcus! DAG is the name of the German company that manufactured this ammunition. Any 9mm firearm will fire this 9mm blank ammunition. It is designed to function in submachine guns that are equipped with blank-firing adapters. It will fire in 9mm handguns, although it will fail to cycle a semi-automatic unless it is heavily modified.

A: Thanks for reaching out Terry! This blank round has a plastic dome in place of a bullet in order to provide smooth feeding in an automatic firearm. The plastic dome will become obliterated during ignition, although it is possible that very small scraps of plastic will survive the explosion. DAG produced this ammo for law enforcement and military training with the Heckler & Koch MP5 and other 9mm automatic firearms. Like all blanks, this ammo is potentially lethal. It's loaded with real propellant, which comes out of the muzzle white hot and at high velocity. You absolutely do not want to fire blanks at anything you're unwilling to destroy. This ammo will fire in any 9mm firearm. A submachine gun like the MP5 would require a blank firing adapter in order to cycle this ammo correctly. A handgun like the G17, G19 or G22 would require *heavy* modification in order to cycle this ammunition. This is because a blank round cannot produce nearly as much chamber pressure as one with a projectile.

A: Thanks for reaching out Ron! This ammo will not cycle a P365 unless it is modified. We have not measured the range of its wad ejection, although I would say its report is indeed comparable to that of a live round.

A: I'm glad I checked with Zoraki, Chuck, because I was completely wrong! You cannot in fact safely fire this ammo in your blank revolver.

A: At least the penetration depth would be 100% consistent!

A: Thanks for reaching out Jack! I cannot guarantee functionality in any firearm that I have not personally tested, although a GSG-MP40P with a .125 BFA sounds right on the money in my book. The black plastic cap should melt and mostly evaporate throughout ignition, although I also cannot guarantee a fragment of plastic will not be expelled out of the barrel. It is crucial that you treat blank ammunition with the same exact precautions that you would conventional ammo, as it is still capable of inflicting grave injury and even death. Best wishes for your reenactment – sounds like a good project!

A: Thanks for reaching out Mario! This is blank ammunition. It is designed to function in submachine guns that are equipped with blank-firing adapters. It will fire in 9mm handguns, although it will fail to cycle a semi-automatic unless it is heavily modified. This ammo will not cycle your handgun unless it is heavily modified.

A: Thanks for reaching out! While I don't claim to know every trick a seasoned handloader has at their disposal when it comes to repurposing brass cases, I believe you'll be very disappointed if you try to reload this ammo's cases. If you take a closer look at the photos you'll see that these rounds' case mouths don't have flat edges. I wish we had 9mm brass cases in stock for you!

A: Good to hear from you Samuel! This blank ammo will fire in your S&W, but it will not cycle a semi-automatic pistol without heavy modification. Without a bullet it's unable to create adequate pressure in the chamber to cycle the feeding mechanism – you'd have to rack the slide every time you fire. What's more, without a bullet this ammo generates significantly less recoil energy. Recoil energy is a product of bullet weight, propellant weight, muzzle velocity and firearm weight – with neither a bullet nor a muzzle velocity to speak of, your wife is going to experience negligible kick. In short, blank ammo isn't a very good way to actually get a feel for how a firearm handles. Only live rounds are going to achieve that. But if you would like 9mm ammo which produces a quieter report, then you may enjoy Aguila Subsonic as it won't issue a supersonic crack when fired: luckygunner.com/9mm-147-grain-fmj-aguila-subsonic-50-rounds

A: Thanks for reaching out Anderson! This ammo will fire in 9mm handguns, although it will fail to cycle a semi-automatic unless it is heavily modified. In short, you'll have to rack your pistol's slide every time you want to fire the next blank; it will not automatically load the next round into the chamber.

A: Thanks for reaching out Merlin! A blank cartridge has no bullet, so it has no velocity to record.
