How loud and distinguishable as a gunshot is a blank?
was thinking of buying a crate and shooting them off on the 4th, I live in suburbia, but neighbors of both sides go nuts with large mortars and everything so I don't think it would be a issue.
anyone else shoot blanks/flareguns,ect on the 4th?
wake me up when summer ends
SAGED FOR EXTREME FAGGOTRY
Might as well shoot live rounds, being as firing a blank is also discharging a firearm, and the penalty will be the same.
I have some .308 blanks, and they are fucking LOUD AS FUCK. WAY louder than a normal round. IDK if it's because of what I am shooting them out of or not, but they are fucking crazy loud.

I have some old Austrian blanks from the late 80's and they're not very loud, but won't cycle a semi-auto either.
I live out in bumfuck nowhere so shooting isn't a problem.

Fire when they're shooting. Also, it's rare for police to respond to noise shit on July 4 because it's going on everywhere, unless you live in some Nazi area that doesn't allow fireworks.
I don't shoot shit on July 4 though, nor do I fly flags or celebrate. I celebrate Dec 20, Feb 4, and Feb 8.
What about smaller cartridge blanks like 9mm and 22lr? Do you think they'd "blend in" with the fireworks more than rifle cartridges?

Blanks make less noise than a live round, and I'll tell you why. Most of the noise from a gunshot comes from the bullet going supersonic.
SCIENCE.

reason you have to get a firing adapter for blanks
>>34432013
touche, but hard to get one to fit on a AWB era gun with a welded muzzle brake

Gonna need some sauce to back that up.

Primer only.
Be aware of mercury residue.
Do not fire blanks indoors or without proper compression or else unburnt powder will cause a hazard (especially when you vacuum).
>>34432024
Blank firing adapters screw on over the muzzle device. Doesn't really male a difference if it's welded on.

There are some designated blank guns shooting fireworks you idiot stop playing with fire.

It isn't. Especially if you live near an airport like I do.
If they find out you fired a live round in the air, you're going to jail. No questions asked.
If you can prove it was a blank they may just kill your dog and give you a fine.

if you have a roller delayed rifle taking the rollers out usually does the trick.
