col48 Posted December 14, 2010 Report Share Posted December 14, 2010 Hi All Just a quick one. I have a starting pistol that i have been using for some time and i have just about run out of blanks. normally i use the short ones Filbert i think. but i have a load of luncher blanks and they fit in the pistol OK. can you use them in the starting pistol ? or are they to powerfully. i say this as they give you a right kick when you use them on the dummy launcher.

humperdingle Posted December 14, 2010 Report Share Posted December 14, 2010 They probably only "Kick" because they are effectively firing a projectile, whereas a starting pistol will just vent outwards. I'd hate to say "Use them", and you blow your hand off, though! :blink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

humperdingle Posted December 15, 2010 Report Share Posted December 15, 2010 you are shooting a chunk of rubber about 200y Seriously? :blink: I thought they only launched 40-50 yards... That's like a mortar bomb :o Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's like a mortar bomb :o Hi mine is the turner Richards and it goes over 100y if you do it at about 45 degrees. i will have to range find it when I'm out with it next time,but this will be a wile yet as i have a lot of different stuff to do before i get to that.

fortune82 Posted December 15, 2010 Report Share Posted December 15, 2010 If i remember correctly you dont get the same bang with the launcher blanks because they are nitro powder and need a bit of pressure to burn all the powder. Proper blanks are black powder which burns quicker. Im sure my mate tried them a few years back and they didnt go bang very loud. Maybe Im wrong though and they would blow the gun up!

pegleg31 Posted December 15, 2010 Report Share Posted December 15, 2010 just use your dummy launcher without a dummy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
col48 Posted December 15, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 15, 2010 well i have just been out and tried it. i will not be doing it again as i put 1 x dummy launcher blank in and the rest where normal blanks. there was only 3 left out of 9 that did not fire off at the same time. it went with a good old crack, and the spent blank had to be pulled out with a pair of pliers. so to answer my own question NO i will be going to get some more blanks and i have to stop being tight.
