Only strange imaginations could think up recreational applications for this product: http://www.bloomautomatic.com/index_files/gbl.htm.

Obviously, it would not be able to be utilized at any range that I'm familiar with. Another drawback would be that, for most handguns, you'd have to be a reloader and make your own blanks. I don't plan on buying one, but I feel much safer knowing that products such as this are out there.

I have heard of people shooting "skeet" by shooting golf balls out of the air after they were hit by a friend, so this way, at least, both people get to shoot. One shoots (launches) the golf ball and the other shoots the golf ball out of the air!

The Beretta Xtrema2 shotgun demonstration has the guy putting the golfball on the end of the barrel, flipping it into the air and shooting it in the direction he calls!

That and bouncing 3 golfballs all at once on the concrete with his lefthand, then shooting each ball before it hits the ground.

The entertainment of the video makes it worth watching, and you have to be impressed by said shotgun.

Hm. I could see a lot of difficulty once you get on the green. How d'ya put with it? A really low power factor load?

It could bring new meaning to golf term, "Shotgun Start."

Just the thing I need to use up all of those .45ACP and .30-06 blanks I accidentally took home from the Navy.

I think that shotgun might be next on my list. 12 rounds...less than two seconds. 'Nuff said.
