    12 Gauge Snap Caps Recommendation

    Can the group recommend 12 Gauge Snap Caps for my Panzer M4? Also since the Panzer is a Semiautomatic what is the process to eject a dummy round after pulling the trigger in a semiautomatic?

    Any snapcaps should be fine. To eject the round just pull the bolt back like normal.

      I have used B's Dry Fire Snap Caps. I ordered a bunch to practice quad loading. I like them because they are more realistic than a lot of other dummy rounds.

        Dummy/Practice/Action proving rounds vs snap caps - there is a difference. You said snap caps but I get the feeling you probably want dummy rounds.

        Snap caps usually are designed for repetitive dry firing, but usually horrible for cycling and loading in a semi auto. They are usually not the correct size or weight, and their construction is not built for much cycling. So in a shotgun that usually means only break action guns are good for pure snap caps.

        Action Proving (or dummy or practice) rounds are not great for a lot of dry firing and usually wont take too much, but they are great for cycling and load/unload training as they are the correct size and weight, and their construction can withstand lots of cycling. Some makers still call them snap caps but they are usually not great for thousands of hits from a firing pin.

        The B's are good, but get the high base (not the low base like pictured in the post above). You can get them here:
