This is a dummy cartridge, yes?

[CountryGent]

I found this in the box with a pistol I am selling for my father-in-law. Someone asked me today what it was and I said I figured a dummy cartridge. Why it is configured that way, I have no idea. Thanks for any details.

Sim round. Its full of coloring powder to show hits. They fire like a regular cartridge, they DO break skin. The gun has to be modified with the correct springs to cycle.

Roger that. Thanks for the details. I was perplexed because upon closer examination, it says 9㎜ on the back. As this pistol is a .32 NAA, I wouldn't have been too surprised by a cartridge labeled 9㎜ Kurz or Corto, considering the parent case, but it does not say this.

Anywho, I won't sell it with the firearm. Why the devil it was included I can't say. Perhaps my FIL is losing his mind, because he had a box of .32 S&W (not .32 NAA or .32 ACP) with it.

Simunition rounds. Paintball on more realistic level per se lol. I find them all the time when my shop decommissions the cop cars for auction prep. I've found drag stabilized bean bag shotshells too.

Now I'm left with a quandary; ask FIL if he wants it back. Or shoot a tree outside my house in order, to quote at least one of my children's common statements, "see what it does!"
