blanks in a AR-180

[dudley2112]

Let say i could get my hands on some blanks. Don't ask why i would want to shoot them but lets say i did would it damage the rifle to shoot blanks out of it? Just asking b/c i know some guns need a blank firing attachment.

Blanks should be buried....

No man, it's not going to hurt anything. Except get everything nice and carbon'ed up and all dirty.

All a BFA (black firing att....) does is plug the barrel so there is enough gas pressure to re #### the action and load a new round. Without the BFA and firing blanks your rifle will be like a striaght pull bolt action ( #### after every shot)

The BFA is there to make the gun cycle, it will work bolt action without it.
Firing a blank always destroys the rifle and kills the firer. (That might not be true though).

blanks damage rifling and sometimes the action with the adapter. dont bother.

Really? news to me and most militarys in the world.

At worst a blank will cause as much wear as a live round would.

In the military I fired as few blanks through my C7 and 8 as I could get away with and dumped alot in the field so it would be easier to clean my rifle and hand it back onto the rack. Just fouls up the rifle. I prefered live fire shoots anyway. Why anyone, civilian that is would want to fire blanks through their personal firearm when they can shoot live ammo I cannot understand. At the range what do blanks do? You cannot fire off blanks legally in your backyard unless you want trouble. Get a box as a collectible but you don't do your firearms favours running blanks through them.

you can give him live rounds too, he probably won't hit the target either way.
