I finally got to test this myself, after I purchased a Chiappa little badger. I only tried the greens. Some shot fine, others the pellet would break apart in the barrel and the top would shoot out, but the skirt would stay in the barrel. First one that broke apart, I only found out after the next blank wouldn't seat fully. So I removed the blank and pellet, looked down the barrel and could see daylight, but upon looking more closely, realized there was something still in the barrel. I had to use a cleaning rod to drive out the remaining skirt of the last pellet. I'll try it again sometime using Browns, but it most likely requires a heaver pellet, maybe one that doesn't have that 'hourglass' shape would be necessary for this to work reliably. This idea is a moot point at this time anyway, as nail gun blanks are currently .10 a round in the Chicagoland area, and .22 LR's are back in stock everywhere and as cheap as .06 a round. Something I would like to try though, will be to seat a FMJ center fire .22 bullet into the chamber and use a nail gun blank as the power. But I won't use the Chiappa for that. Most likely it'll be a 12ga to .22 adaptor.
I'd repeat the test with the newer "slug" type pellets that are coming out. H&N Slug HP, JSB knockout, NSA slugs, etc. Pellets lose stability at supersonic speed, that's why they're always shoot at around 900-800 FPS.
@@BROTUNED I doubt they would as air rifle slugs and pellets are .217 to .218 while .22 lr is .224. Not a very perfect fit to bore. Accuracy will probably also suffer.
Excellent demonstration, great explanation throughout, question, would it go through body armour, with WW3 hanging over us, the public need weapons to protect themselves in case of invasion, like the film Red dawn, bit of a shocker for them if a 22 can stop them, is it possible to see what a level 5 red blank would do
This might seem like fun but it could be harmful to a rifle. The lead in pellets is much softer than it is for bullets and most .22 bullets nowadays are either copper jacketed or lubed lead. You can badly lead up your barrel. Increased lead i the barrel can lead to higher chamber pressures. Also, the CUP's in some of these, especially the higher level, may exceed what the rifle is designed to handle and might eventually lead to failure or damage. If you watch Taofledermaus do this he mentions this. He is using an old junker .22 that if it fails it is no big deal.
What powder are used in those ramset blanks ? Normally if you use blanks the barrel gets filthy after one shot because all those crap they use some kind of mixture! But ramset mast uses fast burning powder ? I guess if you shoot shot after shot
Rifles meant to shoot blanks and pellets have been fabricated in Mexico for years. They are called munisalva rifles. Had one of those when I was a kid haha. They even have their own sort of extractor nails on the barrel.
Yeah, but they are thiferent its like a .22 short cartige case, i have a little mendoza .22 one shot and i do the same that u, its better use a red flight penetrators pellet
@@BROTUNED I’m trying to make a homemade pistol using these blanks. Since they don’t have the little contact circle that most bullets and gun blanks have, how can they be ignited? Could I just hit it with a spring loaded hammer really really hard and it would go off?
It’s a rimfire. Make sure you have the proper paperwork and permits. Not sure where you live but make sure you aren’t breaking any laws or regulations because you don’t want to end up on the wrong side of the bars
