The present invention relates to the field of training ammos, in particular to a dummy ammo and a use method thereof.
Training ammo is a kind of ammunition that can't be filled with gunpowder or explosives. It is usually used in the training of ammunition loading and unloading, shooting feel and muscle memory to simulate the action effect needed in actual shooting. The training ammo not only has the appearance and weight close to the live ammo, but also does not cause explosion or injury when it is launched, therefore it has high safety, which can help users to be familiar with the use method and shooting skills of weapons and improve their actual combat ability.
A patent document with a publication number of U.S. Pat. No. 6,223,657B1 discloses a simulated ammunition device, which comprises a first part with a longitudinal axis and a blind hole arranged therein at a position coaxial with the longitudinal axis of the first part; the second part has a longitudinal axis, a generally cylindrical head including a circumferential edge and a stud extending coaxially with the longitudinal axis of the second part, and the stud is received by the blind hole of the first part; and a structure for retaining the stud in the blind hole.
This simulated ammunition has simple structure and firm connection, but the two parts of this simulated ammunition are made of different materials, the first part is made of plastic material, and the second part is made of metal material, which makes the center of gravity of the simulated ammunition backward, so it will have a different feel from the live ammo, which will bring users a bad use experience, and at the same time, it may be difficult to eject smoothly during training and use.
Therefore, it is necessary to propose a new type of dummy ammo structure, which can not only simulate the weight and shape of a dummy ammo, but also simulate the weight distribution of a dummy ammo, and bring users a better use experience.

the contour component comprises at least one cartridge shell, and the counterweight component comprises at least one counterweight block, wherein the cartridge shell is provided with at least one inner wall; the inner wall defines at least one cavity, and the counterweight block is fixed in the cavity, and the cartridge shell is provided with at least one counterweight opening, and the counterweight opening is close to the front end; and
when the counterweight component is fixed, a center of gravity of the counterweight component is close to the counterweight opening and far away from the rear end in a direction parallel to the longitudinal axis.
The present invention further provides a method for assembling a dummy ammo, comprising providing at least one counterweight component and at least one contour component, wherein the contour component is a rotating body, the contour component has at least one longitudinal axis, and the contour component defines at least one front end and at least one rear end; the contour component comprises at least one cartridge shell, and the counterweight component comprises at least one counterweight block, wherein the cartridge shell is provided with at least one inner wall, and the inner wall defines at least one cavity; the cartridge shell is provided with at least one counterweight opening, which is close to the front end; and
The present invention further provides a method for assembling a dummy ammo, comprising providing at least one connector, at least one base, at least one counterweight block and at least one cartridge shell, wherein the cartridge shell is provided with at least one inner wall which defines at least one cavity, the cartridge shell is provided with at least one counterweight opening, and the base is provided with at least one joint cavity, and the counterweight block has a density different from that of the cartridge shell; and
