not really ammo, but

[577/450]

Got these at an auction the other day and for the life of me I cant find out anything about them.
30 mm long
9.21 at the start of the crimp
9.55 at the base

 

[Blackjack21]

9mm blank cartridge

It looks more like a 7.62x39 or 7.92x33 blank to me.

SO far I got FNM = Fábrica Nacional de Municiones, Santa Fe, México (near Mexico City)

EDIT, also found FNM Fabrica Nacional de Municoes de Armas Ligeiras ("National Small Arms Munitions Factory") - Lisbon, Portugal.

 

[jonnyc]

The case is 100% Portuguese FNM, but with that nickle primer I'm pretty sure it is not a factory loaded blank.

 

[buzzmagoo]

Movie blanks .?

 

[sahara]

If it is indeed Portuguese then it's Fabrique Nacional Millar. Or Milar. I dunno.

 

[gewehr76]

So is it 9mm blank?

 

[577/450]

So is it 9mm blank?

Appreciate the input but I don't think so, its too long and smaller in diameter than 9mm. I will try a plunk test in my beretta later today

Looks like cut down 5.56/223

 

[577/450]

here it is in a beretta barell, way to long

 

[green]

Could be 9mm Steyr or Bergman.

 

[577/450]

Just took a look at the dimensions good but no cigar the blank is too long.

 

[piping]

Could this be a short blank 5.56x45 made by Fabrica Nacional de Municoes out of Portugal or Chile?

As stated above, it is a 1000% Portuguese case.

 

[Beater]

is it one of those 8mm blanks for those toy/ blank fireing lil FA guns that were on the market a while ago?
