What is a Blank Gun
A blank gun is a firearm that fires blank cartridges, which generate a muzzle flash and explosive sound that is typically 2 decibels (dB) louder than a normal firearm but does not shoot a projectile like a real firearm. Blank guns can be used for deterring and immobilising threats, such as in self defense, and can shoot both 9mm P.A.K. blank and pepper ammunition
Do I need a License to own a Blank Gun in South Africa?
Blank guns are non-lethal alternatives to firearms and are classified as flare guns under the Firearms Control Act (FCA), which means they do not require a license to purchase or carry.
