Matto2494 Posted September 3, 2015 Posted September 3, 2015 Best place to get 9mm blanks please, ive found a few places but dont want to rush into it purchasing and get ripped off. Thanks Guys and Gals
Supporters Sitting Duck Posted September 3, 2015 Supporters Posted September 3, 2015 9mm blanks are much more costly than shotgun primers 9mm blanks may cost about £17:50 for 50 also be careful some 9mm blanks for pistols may not detonate 101% correctly in BFG's I bought these a while back: https://www.justbbguns.co.uk/product/534/FLASHBANG-GRENADES/515/OH-SHI-BOOM/2544/9MM-BLANK-AMMO but they are out of stock and there are longer & different blanks that Fiocchi make these might work ok but not tried them myself so don't flame me: https://www.justbbguns.co.uk/product/534/FLASHBANG-GRENADES/515/OH-SHI-BOOM/3412/SP-KNALL-380-9MM-BLANKS shotgun primers cost about £7:50 for 100 - that is getting on for a 1/5th of price https://jdairsoft.net/trmr-primers-shotshell-100pcs so see if your BFG has a 9mm to .209 shotgun primer adapter
Supporters Esoterick Posted September 3, 2015 Supporters Posted September 3, 2015 As Sitting Duck said 209 primers are much cheaper. 9mm are louder but I find it negligible and to be honest who can't hear either very clearly at 5 metres?! Sitting Duck 1
TheGrover Posted September 3, 2015 Posted September 3, 2015 I'm still using my 9mm blanks, they might cost more than .209s but they're a long way from being expensive. I might go back to 209s because I still have over 70 that I hardly use. There isn't much difference between the two really bit the 9mms are significantly louder, especially in small spaces. I found 209s were 5p a throw and 9mms were 40p a throw (£5 for 100 and £20 for 50 respectively) it's a big difference but neither one is expensive compared to single use pyrotechnics which are often around £3 a throw
Supporters Sitting Duck Posted September 3, 2015 Supporters Posted September 3, 2015 I think the main deciding factor though is: crimped 9mm blanks are a LOT easier to pick up/install with gloves on than tichy - "damn it wtf did that go" 6mm/203 primers out in the field just seems less fumbling with gloves on to reload a BFG 9mm might be a bit louder but unless you are Mutton Geoff - you know ya got owned an adapter can knocked up using a bit of imperial metal tubing tbh (forgot exact sizes but is cheap as chips to do - something a bit bigger than an thick old $hite inner barrel about 20 to 25mm in length) plop it in, bob's ya uncle - primer adapter for next to nothing & fill/blow ya boots with both types
