Choosing between blank gun models often comes down to the numbers: how heavy is it, how many rounds does the magazine hold, how long is the barrel, and what is it made of. This page puts the specs for eight of the most popular blank guns in South Africa side by side so you can compare them at a glance.

For advice on which model suits your use case, read our Blank Gun Buyer's Guide. To browse pricing and availability, visit our blank gun collection.

How to read these specs

Weight

Heavier models (900g+) feel more realistic and absorb recoil better. Lighter models (under 700g) are easier to carry in a bag. The Ekol Major at 560g is the lightest option, while the Kuzey 911 SX at 1220g is the heaviest.

Magazine capacity

Higher capacity means fewer reloads during training drills. The Zoraki 2918 leads with 18+1 rounds. The Sur Arms 2608 and Ekol Major have 7+1, which is standard for compact models.

Frame material

All-metal frames (Baredda S56, Kuzey 911 SX, Blow F92) offer a more authentic weight and feel. Polymer frames (Retay G19C) are lighter and more practical for regular carry. Alloy frames (Sur Arms 2608, Ekol Major) split the difference.

Length

Shorter models (under 175mm) are easier to store and transport discreetly. The Ekol Major at 162mm is the most compact. The Blow F92 at 216mm is the longest, matching the profile of a full-size Beretta 92.

Which model fits your use case?

  • Home defence: Blow F92 or Zoraki 2918. Full-size, high capacity, loud, and intimidating.
  • Everyday carry in a bag: Ekol Major or Sur Arms 2608. Compact, lightweight, easy to store.
  • Training and drills: Retay G19C or Stello AR9. Modern tactical designs with good capacity.
  • Collecting and display: Kuzey 911 SX or Baredda S56. All-metal, realistic replicas of classic firearms.
  • Film and theatre: Blow F92. The full-metal Beretta replica looks and sounds the most authentic on camera.
