ammunition, blanks, 10 gauge and larger

We offer 12, 10, 8, 4 gauge blanks!
(the smaller the number the larger the gauge)

How loud are they? 10 gauge shells have more than 3 times the amount of powder in a standard hunting 12 gauge shot gun shell. They produce a 121db noise level 25 feet and perpendicular from the muzzle.
They are very loud and produce a cloud of white smoke. A 12 gauge shell contains 6 Drams of black powder. The 10 gauge blank shells contain 8 Drams of black powder (approximately 220 grains). Our 8 Gauge blanks contain 12 Drams (approximately 328 grains) of ffg black powder.

* Yes, they are blanks - However, use caution! The wadding (made of condensed particles), located at the end of the shell, is propelled out of the barrel at nearly the speed of sound and travels several feet.
Insure no one is, or will be in front of the cannon when it is to be fired.

>>> Blanks are only sent via UPS ground. They cannot be sent by UPS Air, which includes 3 Day select.

Black powder Pyrodex RS	We do not sell black powder or substitutes We do not sell primers. Primers are available at most any gun shop. All our blanks use the standard 209 shotshell primer. Click here for our survey Black powder / Pyrodex RS & Several new brands of black powder substitutes We would appreciate feed back from users of these new substitutes. Goex – GOEX and KIK brand real black powders. Pyrodex– Black powder substitute Schuetzen Powder - From Germany Black powder may be purchased at many gun shops. In some parts of the country it can be purchased in regular department stores. Seek those that carry "Muzzle Loaders" supplies. You are looking for a one pound can or plastic container of "fg or 1fg" Black powder. 2fg (ffg) can also be used, but in less quantity. The higher the "fg" number, the smaller the powder particle sizes, hence the powder burns more quickly. Large cannons are fired using "Cannon" grade. Finer powders, and those used in regular shotgun shells may cause a cannon barrel to explode. Never use "smokeless powder" or powder from fireworks in cannons. Pyrodex RS can also be substituted in a slightly less quantity, however the effect is not nearly as good as with real black powder. Pyrodex, in loose form does not produce a "Boom" when used as a blank load in smaller cannons. It will when placed in a foil pouch.
