Blank Ammo | About Us
Let's face it. Blank ammunition is an afterthought for all the big ammo retailers. You will be lucky to find even the most popular calibers at box stores like Walmart or Cabella's, and online retailers like Cheaper Than Dirt offer scant selection.
These retailers don't understand blank ammunition and see the market as too small.
That's why BlankAmmo.com is different. We understand blanks, and we know why our customers need them. After all, we've been doing this for over 30 years. Our goal is to help you get the blank ammunition that you need quickly without a bunch of fuss.
Our shop, Western Stage Props, is open to the public. Come visit us Monday through Friday from 9am to 5pm at 4017 Dean Martin Dr, Las Vegas, NV 89103. We are located just minutes from the Strip!
Frequently Asked Questions
What is blank ammunition?
Blank ammunition is a type of firearm cartridge that contains no bullet. Blanks are essentially firearm casings that are loaded with powder and either crimped or sealed shut with a wax plug or fibrous disk. Most blanks also contain a primer. Firearms loaded with blanks will create a loud bang and visible flash, but will not discharge a projectile.
Is blank ammo dangerous?
While less dangerous than live ammunition, blank ammo can cause serious injury and even death when improperly used. Firearms loaded with blanks must never be pointed at another person or animal. Blanks can cause permanent hearing damage and the residue from the unburnt gun powder can cause eye injury. Hearing and eye protection are strongly recommended.
What is blank ammo used for?
Blank ammo is used for a wide variety of applications, from theater, film and television to law enforcement training, oil exploration, animal training, and wildlife management. Blank cartridges can also be used to launch grenades, golf balls, and flares.
