You need either specific blank firing guns or a blank firing adapter to partially obscure the barrel to allow blanks to generate enough pressure to cycle a weapon, so they wouldn't be particularly useful to the average celebratory AKM owner. Blanks are also expensive and difficult to find compared to live ammunition. They are also a lot less satisfying to fire, TBH.
- whoooooo123 4y agoBlanks are more expensive than regular ammo? That's not what I would have guessed. Why are they more expensive?
- daedalus_f 4y agoInteresting! I’d always assumed the yellow objects UK soldiers seem to have on the ends of their rifle barrels when simulating an engagement were to catch an accidental live round, but perhaps they have the purpose you suggest.
- closewith 4y agoYep, they're the blank firing attachments. A live round will take them right off.
