I've put this question in this forum because in the equipment I don't think it's well placed because in war they didn't use blanks :D .
Just for curiosity how blanks work?

its a shell casing with the end crimped, i looks exacly like a bullet, with out the bullet tip, and it is filled with gun power and a primer just like a real bullet.

they sound real and have some blowback as well, pretty neat stuff, but if you shoot someone too close with a bank you can hurt them possably kill them. 8O
