I don’t know if I could tell a dummy load from normal ammo as I’ve never seen one. How does one tell the difference? TIA
Dummy cartridges and rounds are specially made by hand. A cartridge with a dummy round is marked differently and has a BB inside so that it rattles when shaken.
They look like a shell without a bullet. There’s also a weight difference with the gun that is noticeable when it doesn’t have the live ammo.
