New Use for Snap Caps

Not sure what you are missing...

They are simply using it as a 'tool' to activate the 'Bullet Button' magazine release, instead of using a screw driver, or 'bullet''...
 
Its California, that's all you're missing.:rolleyes::o Magazines must have a "tool" used to remove them to be legal. Google "Bullet button", a type of magazine release catch that has to be pressed with a bullet (a tool) to release the magazine.

Only in California!:eek:
 
Senate Bill 249 failed in committee so unless they attach it to something else by the 31st it's dead this time around. There was a bunch of us talking our state senators and assembly members, worked this time. So no tool (yet).
 
That link is to a report on federal agencies' recent ammo purchases, not the bullet button.

Hmm...

The first time I clicked it, it was most certainly a link to a pic of someone using a red plastic snap cap as a 'tool' to operate a 'bullet button'...

I did not look further down the page, so I have no idea if the text has changed or not...
 
The header picture is a snap cap popping a bullet button mag release.

*correction* it was a picture, today it's just a gray box.:confused:

???

Are you in California and talking about this year's legislature?

The "need a tool" law has been on the books for a number of years. What has been proposed recently (in California) is to make ALL removable magazines illegal, which will apply retroctively even to currently-legal firearms that are set up for the "bullet button."
 
Sorry, the photo that was at the top of the article has been changed. Thanks for the earlier comments regarding the "bullet button mag release". I learned something new.
 
I guess i couldnt see the article you intended. But the wife and i use them as misfire rounds. I will load them in various spots in her mag and sye does the same in mine. Lets us practice misfire when we do self defence shooting at the range.
 
Aguila Blanca- yeah, I'm a Californian and not nearly as aware as I thought. From what I had heard about this bill I assumed everything was recent. I'll research the topic a little more thoroughly next time before opening mouth and removing all doubt.
