6 Pounder Blank Cartridge

The 6 Pounder Blank Cartridge is a type of ammunition that falls under the supply class "Ammunition, Over 30mm Up To 75mm" in the supply group "Ammunition And Explosives."

Blank cartridges are cartridges that do not contain a projectile, but are filled with gunpowder or other propellant material. They are used for training purposes, ceremonial events, or in situations where the sound and flash of a firearm are desired without the need for a projectile.

The 6 Pounder Blank Cartridge specifically refers to a blank cartridge designed for a 6-pounder gun. The 6-pounder gun was a type of artillery piece used in various military applications, particularly during the 18th and 19th centuries.

These blank cartridges are typically used in military training exercises to simulate the firing of live ammunition without the risk of causing harm or damage. They produce a loud noise and a visible muzzle flash, allowing soldiers to practice their firing drills and familiarize themselves with the operation of the weapon.

It's important to note that blank cartridges should only be used in appropriate training or ceremonial settings and should never be used as live ammunition.
