DESCRIPTION |
||
|
This cartridge is intended for simulated firing in training exercises and for saluting purposes from 12.7X108 mm weapons (M16 family rifles, assault rifles and other compatible systems) equipped with blank firing attachment). Cartridge is identified by a rosette crimp closure of the cartridge case mouth. The annulus of the primer and cartridge tip will be coated with a suitable waterproofing compound. |
||
|
This specific round is distinguished by several key characteristics: |
||
|
Crimped Tip: |
Unlike live ammunition, which has a solid bullet seated in the front, this case has its mouth folded into a star-shaped "crimp" to keep the gunpowder inside. |
|
|
Red Marking: |
The red lacquer or paint on the tip is a visual indicator that it is a blank, typically used for military training, starting races, or theatrical performances. |
|
|
Brass Construction: |
The gold-colored body is a standard metallic case, usually made from high-quality brass. |
