Yeah they sell blank ammo, like Shane said you have to buy a blank suppressor as well or something. Also imagine if you having a bbq and your pal brings his kid, with the blank pistol you don't have to worry about hiding and locking it up so the idiot kid doesn't shoot his younger brother
Or whip it out and shoot the kid when he does something stupid. Imagine the looks of surprise on the faces of your barbecue guests.
Sure you do bc the kid can put live rounds in your .38 and shoot everyone at the BBQ. You can t just leave the gun lying around bc it has blanks.
If you just want something to keep in your home I would suggest a shotgun, preferably one with pump action. No sound is scarier to a burglar that that chkchk sound of a round being pumped into the chamber. And shotguns are loud so I imagine the blanks would produce higher decibel levels than handgun blanks too.
Wrong, the velocity of the gas as well as the muzzle flash are both very dangerous at close range. We used to take our BFA's off and shoot and kill rabbits with out cleaning rods.
Dang it my blank-firing gun crime-prevention plan is seeming less and less feasible the more I think about it.
