PPU loads this M200-pattern 5.56×45 blank (part no. PPB556) for units, reenactors, and trainers who need the report and muzzle flash of a live round without a projectile leaving the barrel. The case mouth is crimped in place of a bullet, so it fires safely for honor guard details, historical reenactment, and blank-firing-adapter-equipped rifles used in dog and livestock training. Because there is no bullet, a standard gas-operated rifle will not cycle on this round without a blank-firing adapter matched to the platform. In rifle ammunition from TR&Z, this is the 5.56 blank built for exactly that role.

Key Specifications

• The chambering is 5.56x45mm, matching M200-pattern blank-firing rifles and blank-adapter setups.
• The case is crimped with no projectile, producing report and muzzle flash without sending a bullet downrange.
• Each box holds 20 rounds, sized for a saluting detail or a training session.
• This load is built for ceremonial and training use, including honor guards, reenactment, and blank-adapter-equipped rifles.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will this cycle a semi-automatic rifle? Only if the rifle is fitted with a blank-firing adapter designed for it, since there is no bullet to cycle the action normally.

Is this safe to fire without any target downrange? There is no projectile, but muzzle blast at close range is still hazardous, so standard firearm safety distances still apply.
