    Default What are these

    So a guy at work gave me these. They look like .45 acp rounds, but they are 2 pieces that screw together the bottom part has a pin fixed to it and there is a brass bushing in there too. Any ideas

    Are they open at the bullet end ? If so, possibly adapters to shoot smaller calibers out of a pistol chambered for 45 ACP ?

    Dummy or "practice" rounds. The spring loaded mechanism mimics a primer so the firing pin has a bit of resistance to strike against.
    If there is no spring then they are just using inertia to slow the pin down. Possible that the springs are missing.

    Is the internal dimension look to be about that of a .22lr. ?

    I can fit a .22LR in to them but the base won't screw back on. I had .22 short and same thing won't screw back together. I don't think it's laser related, maybe black powder related but they are too clean to have been used with black powder.

    I'm pretty sure these are rubber bullets. Can anyone confirm?
