An anticorrosive dummy bullet for a firearm to protect the firearm from corrosion over a period of time. The anticorrosive dummy bullet has a body made from plastic or polymeric material and a vapor corrosion inhibitor is infused into the body. The vapor corrosion inhibitor is slowly released into the chamber and barrel of the firearm over a period of time protecting the firearm from corrosion during this period of time.

A training cartridge for use in firearm malfunction training is disclosed. The training cartridge is used in a firearm including a clip or magazine to prevent conventional ammunition cartridges from being properly fed into the firing chamber of the firearm. The training cartridge includes a generally cylindrical body, a skirt portion extending outwardly relative to an outer surface of the body, an annular rim spaced from a lower surface of the skirt that is oriented toward the rim such that an annular recess is formed between the lower surface of the skirt and the rim. A feed malfunction is induced when a conventional ammunition cartridge, as it is fed into the firing chamber, is snagged by the adjacent training cartridge.

Snap cap devices configured to be inserted within an associated firearm are disclosed. The exemplary snap cap devices are made from or otherwise include a material configured to release corrosion protection molecules.

A firearm malfunction training device and method include a blank malfunction round that simulates a T3 malfunction and allows a realistic clearing protocol during the training. The malfunction round size and shape generally mimic the corresponding live round, so that malfunction round moves like the live round through the magazine. However, the malfunction round has a front end/portion that is oversized in diameter and does not fit properly or fully through the firearm breech, to jam the firearm loading mechanism at the breech. Preferably, the malfunction round also has a conical rear region radially-undersized relative to the live round casing, whereby the malfunction round leaves the magazine when the magazine is stripped from the firearm to start the clearing protocol. The enlarged front end and undersized rear region effectively simulate, and provide a realistic protocol for identifying, clearing and, correcting, a T3 malfunction.

A non-projectile cartridge apparatus has a cartridge casing having a receiver positioned therein. Further, the non-projectile cartridge has a simulated primer positioned at the bottom of the cartridge casing. Moreover, the non-projectile cartridge has a rim positioned around at least a portion of a circumference of the cartridge casing. The rim is gripped by an extractor of a firearm after a firing pin of the firearm strikes the simulated primer. Additionally, the non-projectile member has a connector. The non-projectile member is in a closed position within the cartridge casing during a connection between the connector and the receiver. Further, the non-projectile member is in an open position during a disconnection between the connector and the receiver. The disconnection occurs as a result of the firing pin striking the simulated primer.

A device and method for producing a secondary malfunction of a cartridge extracted from a firearm. A cartridge case has a bullet disposed in a front end and a rim formed at a rear end. The rim is tapered toward a primer, wherein the primer is disposed in the center of the rim. The tapered rim prevents a firearm from successfully extracting the cartridge case, i.e. a secondary malfunction occurs.
