Ekol

Ekol Blank Guns, Revolvers and Air Pistols in South Africa

Ekol is Turkish and covers a wider spread of formats than most blank gun makers. Alongside the usual semi-automatic pistol patterns sit blank revolvers, a submachine gun pattern and a break barrel air rifle, which makes this collection worth browsing rather than filtering. NeonSales carries 11 Ekol products, from R1,399 for a Major combo up to R3,250 for an ASI blank submachine gun.

Pistol, revolver or submachine gun pattern?

Format Models Notes
Semi-automatic pistol Major, Gediz, Botan, Firat Magnum Magazine fed, the conventional and most common format
Revolver Viper 2.5 inch and 4.5 inch Cylinder fed, no magazine to lose, different handling entirely
Submachine gun ASI with extended magazine The largest and most distinctive item in the range

Viper 2.5 inch or 4.5 inch?

The difference is barrel length and therefore overall size. The 2.5 inch is more compact and easier to carry or store. The 4.5 inch is longer and heavier, which some shooters prefer for balance and appearance. Both are the same revolver otherwise, and the price difference is negligible at R1,699 against R1,700.

Not everything here is a blank gun

Two items in this collection fire projectiles rather than blanks. The ES 66 FM is a CO2 air pistol taking 4.5mm ammunition. The Mod 550 is a break barrel air rifle in .22 styled as an M16. They need pellets or BBs and, in the case of the ES 66, CO2 capsules. If you are browsing for a blank gun, check the listing before adding either to a basket.

Common questions

What ammunition do the blank guns take? 9mm P.A.K. blank rounds, which fire no projectile. Buy blanks at the same time as the pistol.

Do revolvers use the same blanks? Blank revolvers typically take a different cartridge to semi-automatic blank pistols. Check the listing for the Viper rather than assuming your existing blanks will fit.

Are spare magazines available? A 7 round Major magazine is stocked. Magazines are pattern-specific, so a Major magazine will not fit a Gediz or a Botan.

What are the legal requirements? These vary by product category and by circumstance. Confirm your own position before ordering rather than relying on general guidance.
