DESCRIPTION |
||
|
This cartridge is intended for simulated firing during training exercises and for salutes from 5.56 x 45 mm caliber weapons equipped with a blank-firing attachment. The cartridge is identifiable by a rosette-shaped seal at the muzzle. The primer ring and cartridge tip will be coated with a suitable waterproofing material. |

|
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. |
