The Metal Starter Pistol Dromader 88363 for Blank Cartridges is a metal-constructed blank-firing pistol intended to produce the audible and visual effects of gunfire without firing projectiles. Designed with a solid metal frame and metal working parts, this starter pistol accepts compatible blank cartridges and is used where the sound and flash of a shot are required but live ammunition is not appropriate. The product is intended for tasks such as sport starting, signaling, theatrical effects and film production; local laws and safety rules for blank-firing devices must be observed before use.
Advantages
The metal construction provides durability and a realistic weight and balance similar to conventional handheld firearms, improving handling for training, film and stage work. Using blank cartridges eliminates the risk of projectile damage while still delivering a convincing report and muzzle flash. The design is straightforward, intended for reliable ignition of blanks and ease of use in repetitive start or effect situations.
