Blank guns, irritant gas weapons, and signal weapons are free weapons, meaning they can be purchased without a permit by anyone over 18 years old. Free weapons are marked with a test seal from the Physikalisch Technische Prüfanstalt ("PTB" in a circle).
SRS weapons fire blank cartridges; unlike firearms, no projectiles are fired from these weapons. The barrels of SRS weapons are equipped with blocks to prevent projectiles from being fired. Nevertheless, these weapons pose a significant danger in close proximity! The pressure generated when firing a 9 mm P.A. blank is over 400 Bar, which is high enough to cause fatal injuries.
To prevent SRS weapons from being illegally converted into "live weapons," break points are built into the weapon.
To fire pyrotechnic ammunition, a launch cup is screwed onto the muzzle of blank guns.

The most important manufacturers of blank guns are Umarex, Röhm, Zoraki, and Weihrauch.
Due to less strict restrictions compared to firearms that require a permit, SRS weapons are offered in numerous online shops, with the most offers available at eGun and the VDB.
