What Is 5.56×45 mm Blank Ammunition?

5.56×45 mm is a NATO-standard rifled calibre. Ozkursan's product in this calibre is not a live cartridge but a blank round: the case contains propellant but no bullet, which makes it suited to training, ceremonial and simulation use rather than target engagement.

Primer, Packaging and Catalogue Codes

The cartridge uses a Boxer-type primer and is supplied in packs of 50. The catalogue code S/45 3003 identifies the product's position within Ozkursan's official catalogue classification, while product code 5745 is an internal stock and order reference.

Blank vs. Live Ammunition

A blank cartridge shares the same case and primer construction as a live round but carries no bullet fired down the bore. On ignition, the burning propellant produces sound and muzzle flash without sending a projectile toward a target. This makes blank cartridges suited to military and civilian ceremonies, stage and film production, dog training and firearms-handling simulation.

Compatible Platforms

5.56×45 mm is a NATO-standard calibre used worldwide in light infantry rifles. Blank cartridges of the same case dimensions can be fired from these platforms, typically with a blank-firing adaptor fitted to the muzzle.
