sub-machine gun ammunition because the chamber pressure may reach or exceed proof load pressure. DRY FIRING/"DUMMY" ROUNDS Dry firing is defined as firing a firearm with no ammunition in the chamber. Long term dry firing your Beretta 92 A1 series pistol may result in damage to the firing pin. "Snap caps" (inert chamber inserts that allow a firearm to be dry-fired without damaging the action) are available at most gun stores for those who wish to practice firing without live ammunition. CAUTION: If you want to practice shooting your pistol without using live ammunition (called "dry firing"), insert an appropriate "snap cap" into the chamber to cushion the fall of the firing pin and reduce the chance of firing pin breakage. "Snap cap" cartridges with spring loaded "primers" are ideal. The "Snap cap" cartridges with empty primer pockets are suitable for loading/unloading practice but DO NOT PROTECT the firing pin during dry firing. 92 A1 25
