Will these A-Zoom 20-gauge snap caps automatically cycle in my semi-automatic shotgun during loading drills?

No, because these snap caps are completely inert and unpowered, they generate zero gas pressure or recoil impulse and will not cycle semi-automatic actions automatically. You must manually cycle the action by hand to practice feeding, chambering, extraction, and ejection drills.

How many dry-fire strikes can I expect from the A-Zoom 20-gauge 2-pack before the primer cushion wears out?

The integrated synthetic dead-cap cushion insert is specifically engineered and rated by the manufacturer to withstand over 3,000 dry-fire strikes. This solid CNC-machined aluminium construction allows these snap caps to outlast traditional plastic alternatives by up to 30 times.

Do I need a firearms licence or permit to purchase these inert snap caps in Australia?

No, because these are completely inert dummy training rounds containing no gunpowder or live primers, they are classified as non-regulated firearm accessories across all Australian states and territories. You do not need a firearms licence or permit to purchase them.

Can I use these 20-gauge snap caps in my 12 GA or .410 bore shotguns?

No, these snap caps are strictly restricted to 20-gauge shotgun chambers. Using incorrect gauge dummy rounds can result in dangerous chamber blockages and will not fit or function correctly.

20 Gauge Snap Caps - A-Zoom AZ20G

The A-Zoom Snap Caps 20g 2pk (MPN: 12213) is a precision-machined pair of inert dummy rounds engineered for 20-gauge shotguns. CNC-machined from solid aluminium with a hard-coat anodised finish, these training caps protect firing pins from damage during dry-fire practice and release spring tension safely before firearm storage. Each snap cap features an integrated synthetic polymer "Dead Cap" primer insert designed to cushion strikes across break-action, pump-action, and semi-automatic platforms without using live ammunition.

CNC-Machined Aluminium: Machined to exact 20-gauge factory dimensions for smooth chambering, manual extraction, and ejection testing.
Safe Decocking & Storage: Facilitates the safe release of hammer and mainspring tension for long-term storage without dry firing on an empty chamber.

Who is the A-Zoom 20-Gauge Snap Caps 2-Pack for?

20-Gauge Shotgun Owners Practising Dry-Fire Trigger Control — requires firing pin protection capable of withstanding over 3,000 dry-fire strikes during repeated trigger release drills without damaging internal components.
Hunters and Target Shooters Performing Cycling and Loading Drills — requires a 2-pack of inert 20-gauge dummy rounds machined to precise factory chamber dimensions for manual feeding, extraction, and decocking practice.

Less suitable for: Firearms chambered in 12 GA, 28 GA, or .410 bore (which require gauge-specific snap caps to prevent chamber blockages), or users seeking automated semi-automatic action cycling, which requires live gas pressure rather than inert, unpowered metal dummy rounds.
