Key Specifications
Each A-Zoom 8.6 Blackout snap cap is machined from solid aluminum and hard-anodized for maximum durability and longevity. Unlike plastic dummy rounds that crack and deform after minimal use, A-Zoom snap caps are built to withstand thousands of dry fire repetitions. The dead cap design absorbs the firing pin strike, protecting your weapon’s internals while providing a realistic trigger break and reset feel.

While snap caps are not live ammunition and produce no ballistic performance, the A-Zoom 8.6 Blackout snap caps are precision-dimensioned to exact SAAMI specifications for the 8.6 Blackout cartridge. This ensures flawless chambering, extraction, and ejection — critical for realistic training.
