I just found an information that in Russia, on 14th of September in 2008, in the city of Izhevsk, where one of the most known firearm manufacturers in Russia is situated militsia (police) confiscated Olympic 6 rebuilt as an actual 5.66 mm caliber revolver. I think this kind of information hould be added to the article. Though this fact is pretty weird, cause Olympic 6 is considered very difficult to rebuild it as an actual weapon. That's just proofs that nothing is impossible. --[[User:Kloga|Kloga]] 18:48, 28 October 2010 (UTC) | |||

It's possible to kill yourself with a blank firing gun. [1] --Funkychinaman 17:05, 6 May 2010 (UTC)
- On the Jon Erik Hexum incident, that was a LIVE gun with a full powered blank. Don't confuse the two. The gun listed here is a theatrical blank firing replica gun as ruled by ATF. It has a blocked barrel and is the same legal status as a starter pistol for a track meet. MoviePropMaster2008 18:41, 6 May 2010 (UTC)
- If it's completely harmless, then does it truly belong here? This isn't a firearm, it's more of a ... sporting good? --Funkychinaman 19:30, 6 May 2010 (UTC)
- For the record, I am NOT arguing in support of having this gun or this page. I have not looked into whether the original movie page fulfills IMFDB standards yet, so I am not ready to argue one way or another. But in regards to your query, 8mm or 22 blank pistols (which are not real guns) are commonly used in movies and TV and there are examples listed on IMFDB already. [2][3] Frankly I'm surprised you even asked that question.....MoviePropMaster2008 20:22, 6 May 2010 (UTC)
- I'm aware that flashpaper guns have their own page. Perhaps someone should create a page for blank firing guns? --Funkychinaman 20:42, 6 May 2010 (UTC)
- It's funny, that there were blank firing gun in The Transporter. :) --Kloga 10:39, 7 May 2010 (UTC)

This one has a full plug barrel though.
