700 bar blank ammunition is a high-pressure blank cartridge favoured by users who want a stronger report. Built for blank-firing pistols, it produces a powerful sound and gas effect without carrying a bullet core like live ammunition. This guide covers its definition, typical uses, advantages, selection criteria and legal status.
What Is 700 Bar Blank Ammunition?
As the name suggests, 700 bar blank ammunition is a specialised blank cartridge that operates at higher pressure than standard blanks. That higher pressure produces a louder report and a more pronounced gas effect when fired — a clear advantage in alarm pistols used for personal defence. The key difference between blank and live ammunition is that a blank contains no bullet core or projectile, so it produces sound and gas only, with no physical impact on a target.
Typical Applications
- Personal defence: the strong report from alarm pistols serves as an effective deterrent.
- Drills and training: gives a realistic firing sensation for safe training exercises. See our guide on where blank-firing pistols may be used.
- Film and theatre: creates realistic sound and visual effects for stage and screen.
- Hobby and collecting: popular among blank-firing firearm enthusiasts.
- Security dog training: used by security services to create a realistic sound effect during canine training.
Advantages
700 bar blank ammunition offers several advantages over standard-pressure models:
- Higher sound level: the higher pressure produces a stronger report on firing, increasing its deterrent effect.
- A more realistic firing sensation: offers a more satisfying experience for blank-firing users.
- Matched to the firearm's mechanism: correctly rated pressure lets the firearm's mechanism function without damage.
- Safe and lawful: manufactured to applicable regulations and supplied only through authorised channels.
What to Check When Choosing
- Compatibility: choose ammunition rated for your blank-firing pistol's pressure tolerance.
- Quality: ammunition from certified, reliable manufacturers is critical for safety and performance.
- Dealer reliability: buy only from lawful, licensed sellers.
- Storage: keep cartridges dry, cool and away from moisture to preserve performance.
