The 6mm Flobert K (.22) BLANK [Pobjeda] Short Blanks (x100 Pack), branded as Victory, are rimfire blank cartridges manufactured by Pobjeda Technology, a Bosnia-based ammunition producer with decades of experience in specialty loads. These short crimped blanks are designed for creating a loud report (around 100–110 decibels) with reduced smoke, using nitro powder instead of traditional black powder for cleaner performance and higher volume.
They contain no projectile or irritants, making them suitable for blank-firing revolvers, starting pistols, dog training launchers, theatrical simulations, or launching pyrotechnic flares with adapters.
Affordable and reliable, they're sold in tubs of 100 and are a popular choice for users seeking less residue buildup compared to black powder alternatives, though availability is often restricted due to age (18+) and shipping regulations.

Legal and Safety Considerations
Regulations: In the UK, buyers must be 18+ and provide ID; shipping is restricted to mainland UK. In the US, local laws vary—some states require permits for blank-firing devices. In Canada, devices using these blanks may be classified as prohibited if they can chamber live rounds. Always verify local regulations.
Safety: Treat as live ammunition—store securely, use proper firearms or devices, and avoid modifications. Eye/ear protection is mandatory due to the intense noise and flash.
