The A-Zoom Snap Cap 12g Blue 5 Pack provides inert, dimensionally accurate 12 Gauge dummy rounds designed for safe dry firing, function testing, and action cycling drills. CNC-machined from solid aluminum with a hard-anodised safety blue finish, these training rounds protect internal firearm components by absorbing firing pin strikes. The high-visibility blue finish allows for instant visual differentiation from live ammunition during handling and training routines.

Key Features

• Firing Pin Protection: Features a durable polyurethane Dead Cap synthetic buffer that absorbs firing pin energy, rated to withstand over 3,000 dry-fire strikes per round without damaging internal hammers or pins.
• Chamber Compatibility: Machined to exact SAAMI-spec 12 Gauge shotshell profiles, making it compatible with all standard 12GA shotgun chambers, including 2¾-inch, 3-inch, and 3½-inch chamber lengths.
• Realistic Action Cycling: Enables smooth manual feeding, chambering, extraction, and ejection across break-action, pump-action, straight-pull, and lever-action shotguns.
• Safe Decocking: Allows firearm owners to safely drop internal hammer mechanisms and relieve mainspring tension prior to long-term storage in a gun safe.
• High-Visibility Anodising: Bright blue metal finish ensures quick identification as an inert training round to maintain strict firearm safety standards.

Who is the A-Zoom Snap Cap 12g Blue 5 Pack for?

• Competitive clay target shooters — benefits from a 5 dummy round pack to repeatedly practice manual loading, reloading, and malfunction clearance drills without damaging internal firing components.
• Shotgun owners — utilizes the polyurethane Dead Cap buffer rated for 3,000+ dry-fire strikes to safely relieve hammer spring tension in 12 Gauge firearms before long-term gun safe storage.
• Hunters — relies on a total carry weight of ~0.28 kg for the 5-pack to easily transport inert dummy rounds in range bags for at-home action cycling and handling practice.

Less suitable for: Non-12 Gauge firearms requiring dedicated calibre-specific dummy rounds (such as 20GA or .410), training requiring exact weight replication of 36g–42g field loads for swing and balance drills (which requires dedicated weighted practice hulls), or automated cycling of semi-automatic gas and inertia shotguns without manual racking (which requires live ammunition generating gas pressure).
