Archived [ARCHIVED THREAD] - The 1911 and movie blanks
Posted: 9/3/2005 2:55:40 PM EDT
Why is it that 9mm blanks tend to work better than .45 cal?

I have notice in almost every movie involving a 1911, 9mm blanks are used. Anyone know why?

i have heard that 9mm is slightly tapered towards the chamber and thus, easier to feed as blanks.
no experience, just spreading a rumor.
