Quoted: Why does anyone want to fire blanks? When I was in the Army I hated firing blanks because they made the weapon filthy. Just curious...

I hated shooting blanks also, but find that they are fun now because you can recreate your favorite gun battles with friends and make cheesy home movies.
Blanks aren't that bad... but screw the GI blanks, Google Swanson Hollywood Blanks and use those. DON'T USE THE GI BFA WITH THESE! Buy the hot blank adapter from Swanson. Louder, more flame and cleaner.
ETA, if your using the GI BFA with GI M200 blanks remove the flash suppressor and clean the crud off of your muzzle, re-attach the flash suppressor and the BFA, it should work now. There is a lot of crud on your muzzle that will not allow the BFA to seal correctly.
I took my FA off yesterday and found all kinds of carbon and copper that made a little mound on the muzzle. But dont scrape the muzzle with metal, use a brass/bronze brush and your favorite cleaner.
