The Truth About Blank Guns: Legal Requirements and Safety Precautions in South Africa.

Are you curious about the legal requirements for owning a blank gun? Wondering if these firearms are legal in South Africa? Look no further – we have all the information you need about 9mm blank/pepper pistols.

As a dealer in blank cartridges, we possess a permit to trade in explosives, issued by the Chief Inspector of Explosives in Pretoria and overseen by the explosives department. This permit is essential to legally sell blank and pepper cartridges and ensures compliance with the explosives act.

According to the explosives act, end-users do not require a license or permit to purchase or carry blank and pepper cartridges. However, buyers must produce a valid ID upon purchase of ammunition.

Blank guns are excluded from the firearms control act and are classified as flare guns. These non-lethal alternatives to firearms work, feel, and sound like firearms, making them a popular choice for personal protection. Blank cartridges are ideal for firing warning shots to deter intruders, while pepper cartridges are used for self-defense within 6m.

It is essential to note that blank guns should not be used as toys and require the same precautions as firearms. Attempting a conversion is dangerous and can result in fatalities or severe injuries. Blank guns are designed to be weaker than firearms and do not fire projectiles.

Barrels of blank guns are narrowed, and steel rods placed vertically and horizontally in the barrel to prevent users from firing projectiles. Additionally, blank guns have barrel plugs to differentiate them from firearms and to prevent misuse of the product.

In summary, owning a blank gun does not require a license, but it is essential to follow all legal requirements and precautions for personal safety. Blank guns are not designed to perform as firearms, and modifications can result in voiding the limited warranty and illegal use of the product.
