Headspace gauge maybe.

 

[NewfieAB]

That would have been my guess.

 

[patricksbb391]

Not a head space gauge, as I picked up about 20 after LE used a local range. Some sort of training round I speculate, but would like to know as well. To the OP, do you shoot at Stittsville?

Blank firing devices for cycling actions. The thing acts like a piston.

Is there a headstamp on yours?

Never saw those before..

 

[Lead Loader]

Thats pretty cool

 

[Baribal]

That's pretty common with LE forces and military training by these days. About 15 years ago, IVI (then SNC-Tech) started to shoot prototypes of this and simunition all over the range nearby my place.

 

[Trinimon]

Very cool! Sounds expensive.

 

[Magellann]

are they a one shot deal or something thats reusable.

Guess they don't save their brass lol

 

[Magellann]

Not at the range they use in our area.

 

[silverfoxdj]

Here either

 

[Baribal]

One shot and throw away... I must have spent IVI and Simunition laying around here, will try to find them, if so, will post pics.
The range here is a 10 minutes drive from IVI, and that's where they shoot that stuff, so, there are tons of these cases (and projectiles) laying on the ground

 

[pomelum]

good idea but will only work on direct recoil operated firearm.

Wow...since the LEOs are using them in their M4s do you suppose they're just running them a single shot only? Sounds like exactly what the ERT guys would do for scenario based training.

On further research, it appears that the rimfire cartridge shown in this video presentation, appears to be 22 LR. With a probability that it is certainly no larger than 25 Stevens. And it is definitely too small to be a 9mm rimfire Flobert.

 

[LordEvilPepper]

cool and all... but whats the point of a silent blank... the whole point of a blank is so the other guy knowns your shooting your "bang bang" at him

Yes Sir.........that is where I found them, range #2.
I would guess there was close to 50-60 on the ground.
I could not see any type of markings on them.

Thanks for your help folks. You guys are like Google/library/encyclopedia all rolled into one.

Happy new year !!!!!!!
