What language is on this box of blank ammo?

[Wilke]

I have a couple of boxes of blank ammo.
Box label has printing in a language I'm not familiar with.
Can anyone tell me what language this is ?
Thanks in advance.
See pic.

It looks like Swedish.

Close....Norwegian

Patroner means "cartridge"

I think patroner means "cartridge" in Swedish, too.

Yes it does, and in Danish as well......

Anyway, I think these blanks are used in a nail setting device, similar to how we use .22lr in some concrete nail drivers. That's my guess as to their use.

Spik = nail

Whatever you do, do NOT try to use these with a projectile.

Your pistol will instantly turn into hundreds of very little pieces.

Serious: add a projectile and the pressure will spike high enough that it might not be possible to measure it. The driver guns used an expansion chamber and a heavy sliding "hammer" to insert the nail...... into very solid concrete.

I'm guessing Medium means Medium. which would make sense. 9mm isn't a common nail driving caliber though , at least here. Found one.

Thanks everyone - much appreciated!

Could also be used in a "captive bolt" gun which is used to slaughter cattle
The cartridge drives a "bolt" forward with force striking the cattle beast in the forehead killing it (the gun is held against their head)
The bolt is then retracted, another round loaded, and the next animal slaughtered

The box SAYS SPIKSA(E)TTARE: spike setter.

Definitely heavy-duty nailsetter blanks.

MEDIUM power.
