5 SHOTS, CAL. 6MM - BLANK CARTRIDGES ONLY (ITEM #6051)

FUNCTIONING:
This launcher is cocked by pulling back hammer, cylinder rotates automatically (single action system). Do not pull the trigger with an empty cylinder, as the blank cartridge seats and the firing pin will be damaged.

SAFETY:
When cylinder is swung out or not fully snapped back the trigger mechanism is blocked. When the hammer is cocked, the cylinder cannot be swung out. The built-in automatic safety system prevents cartridges being fired inadvertently.

LOADING: (ONLY 6mm (Item #6051) BLANKS TO BE USED WITH THIS LAUNCHER)
Always point muzzle to the floor when loading blanks. Hold extended axle of cylinder at the knurled part (situated below barrel) pull it out and swing cylinder out. Insert blanks and swing cylinder back into original position. To ensure maximum life of this launcher do not use any black powder blanks, only use blank cartridges loaded with NC-powder.

FIRING: Dry Firing (with no blanks in the chamber) will permanently damage Launcher.
Screw cartridge muzzle onto the barrel. Insert 15 mm pyrotechnical cartridge into the end of the muzzle as per instructions on pyrotechnic cartridge packaging, i.e.: BLACK or HOLLOW end in first. Fire at 45-degree angle above ground. When all five blanks are fired, it will be necessary to reload the cylinder.

REMOVING OF FIRED SHELLS:

Swing out cylinder as described above under “loading”. When extractor (cylinder axle) is pushed backwards eject empty cartridges with cylinder axis and the five shells are ejected simultaneously.

CLEANING:

After each use clean blank chamber, muzzle adaptor and barrel with a 6 mm bore brush and water. Dry all parts thoroughly after cleaning. Proper maintenance will increase the efficiency and life of the launcher. NB It is extremely important, that launcher & chamber be kept very clean, especially after heavy use, as it is possible for flash of blank to be impeded by carbon build up and flash backwards, igniting all blanks in chamber at once.
