New From just south of Indy

[ws98ta]

New guy checking in from Greenwood(just south of Indy)
Thought I would sing up because i just started a new job that requires me to carry a firearm.

Now I have a question.
Have any of you ever heard of a Dummy round actually firing? We had a very scary issue happen today in classroom training where a new safety round actually fired into a wall. Just wondering if anybody had heard or seen this happen?

What kind of dummy round was it?

 

[ATM]

Dummy round meaning blank (still goes bang) or snap cap (no bang)?
Blanks can still be dangerous. Snap caps aren't.

I have never heard of a dummy round actually being shot. How far into the wall?

Thanks for all the welcomes.

I am not sure what brand the dummy round was. It was a 12.ga shell with plastic pellets for weight. It was white with orange on the end and said dummy/safety round right on it.

I've seen something sorta similar happen.. there isn't MUCH force, but a live primer can still propel a bullet, even with no powder involved.. Somewhere around here I have some old training "caps", a red plastic "brass" with a black plastic "Bullet", using real primers. They're weighted so that there's really no damage done, but you'd want to wear safety glasses because a hit to the eye could be bad..

Ohh, and welcome to the forum!!
