Kaiser Blank Cartridges and Pepper Cartridges in South Africa

This collection covers blank ammunition rather than the guns that fire it. Kaiser 9x22mm P.A.K. blanks are the standard cartridge for most semi-automatic blank pistols sold here, and alongside them sit Wadie pepper cartridges, which are a different product entirely. NeonSales carries 4 products in this collection, from R12 for a single blank up to R700 for ten pepper cartridges.

What this collection stocks

  • Kaiser 9x22mm P.A.K. blanks: sold singly and in 50 packs
  • Wadie pepper cartridges: sold singly and in 10 packs

Blanks and pepper cartridges are not the same thing

Cost per round Around R12 Around R70 to R75

They load into the same pistols and look broadly similar in the box, which is exactly why the distinction matters. Check what you are buying, and store them separately so there is no confusion later about which is in a magazine.

Buy blanks in fifties

Single cartridges exist for topping up, though the economics favour the 50 pack considerably: R500 for fifty works out at R10 each against R12 singly. If you shoot a blank pistol with any regularity, the pack is the sensible purchase.

Common questions

Will these fit my blank gun? 9mm P.A.K., also written 9x22mm, is the common cartridge across most semi-automatic blank pistols. Blank revolvers typically take a different cartridge, so check your specific model rather than assuming.

Do pepper cartridges work in any blank gun? They are designed for blank pistols chambered for the same cartridge. Confirm compatibility with your specific pistol before ordering.

Do these expire? Pepper cartridges lose potency over time, as any chemical agent does. Rotate stock rather than buying once and leaving it indefinitely.

What are the legal requirements? These vary by product category and by circumstance, and pepper cartridges may be treated differently to plain blanks. Confirm your own position before ordering rather than relying on general guidance.

Please note: the Wadie pepper cartridges are supplied under a different brand to Kaiser. Check the product title before ordering.
