Will these A-Zoom snap caps damage my 28-gauge shotgun firing pins during extended dry-fire practice?

No, they are specifically engineered to protect your firing pins. Each snap cap features a proprietary synthetic polymer "Dead Cap" designed to safely absorb thousands of firing pin strikes without causing over-travel or deformation.

How many dry-fire strikes can I expect each 28g snap cap to withstand before needing replacement?

The A-Zoom AZ28G snap caps are CNC-machined from solid aluminium billet with a hard-anodised finish, rated by the manufacturer to withstand over 3,000 dry-fire strikes per unit. This solid metal construction lasts up to 30 times longer than traditional plastic training rounds.

Can I use the A-Zoom AZ28G snap caps in my 12-gauge or 20-gauge shotguns?

No, these snap caps are strictly engineered to standard 28-gauge shotshell chamber dimensions. They are completely incompatible with 12-gauge, 20-gauge, 16-gauge, or .410-bore firearms, and you must select the correct gauge variant for those specific firearms.

Are these aluminium snap caps compliant for ownership and use in Australia?

Yes, they are fully compliant for retail sale and ownership across all Australian states and territories. Because they contain zero primers, propellant, or live projectiles, they are classified entirely as inert training accessories and require no special permits.

28 Gauge Snap Caps - A-Zoom AZ28G

The A-Zoom Snap Caps 28g 2pk provides safe dry-fire training and mechanical function testing for 28-gauge shotguns. CNC-machined from solid aluminium billet with a hard-anodised finish, each precision snap cap mirrors standard factory 28-gauge shotshell dimensions. Designed with a synthetic polymer "Dead Cap" primer insert, these inert training rounds absorb firing pin impact to prevent pin breakage, deformation, and mainspring fatigue during off-range practice and storage.

Key Features

Firing Pin Protection: Built-in polymer Dead Cap absorbs hammer strikes to eliminate firing pin over-travel and damage during dry firing.
