A friend and I need this cleared up. Do real guns, (make, feel, action) of any type made (hand, machine, rife) or produced to give the affect of shooting the gun, without actually firing a bullet? NOW, that was the easy part, the answer is yes. Blanks. The answer needs to satisfy this hypothetical: You are at a gun range, you are in your booth, you aim at your target, pull the trigger, the gun responds like a real gun, the target is impacted or somehow registers "where" the bullet would've gone, like a real bullet, but no real bullet is discharged. (blank bullets or tazer, paintball not include in this answer) That way, you get the benefits of a firing range without the dangers of real bullets. What can you do for me? In other words, the cause, but not the realistic effect. |

There is no answer at this time. |

Gas blowback BB guns have a "kick" like a real gun. http://www.renegaderecon.com/buyersguide_details.php?id=6 http://www.chaosarms.com/gasglock.html http://www.airsoftarms.com/viewproductdetail.php?ProdID=2340 |

The army makes a system that has a real M16A2 that has the same recoil effect as a real M16A2 when fired. You don't shoot blanks. When the trigger is squeezed you have recoil. The M16A2 is attached to a rod at the flash supressor and it jolts reward for the recoil. You have targets in front of you and it shows you on a screen where you hit, how many rounds fired. Hope this helps |

It's good to keep in mind that nothing really feels like a real gun shooting real bullets. Blanks do not feel the same; both the sound and the kick are different. I've never shot a gas blowback gun, but I've been told that they somewhat resemble the sensation of shooting a .22 pistol. A properly run firing range isn't a dangerous place. Actually, I feel a heck of a lot safer on the firing range than I do in a bank, a liquor store, or a convenience grocery, where strangers with guns are much more likely to do me harm. |

Even with blanks, guns can be dangerous if misused. I agree with pinkfreud on this one; a well run rnage is the safest place to shoot. In over 10 years of shooting the worst injury I have seen or experienced is a slight burn from hot brass falling down my shirt.
