Zoraki Blank Gun Ammo Guide: 8mm, 9mm P.A.K. & .380 R.K.
Choosing the correct blank ammunition is one of the most important decisions a Zoraki owner can make. The model number may tell you whether a blank gun uses 8mm or 9mm cartridges, but similar-looking rounds are not automatically interchangeable. Using the wrong cartridge can cause a malfunction, damage the replica, or create a serious safety hazard.
This guide matches the Zoraki models sold by TCN Vault with their intended ammunition families and explains the essential difference between 8mm blanks, 9mm P.A.K. pistol blanks, and revolver blanks such as .380 R or 9mm R.K.
Safety first: Always follow the caliber stamped on your individual blank gun and the instructions supplied with it. Never substitute a cartridge because it appears to fit. Blank guns are not toys, and blank cartridges can cause serious injury at close range.

8mm Blanks: Zoraki M807 and M2807
The Zoraki M807 and Zoraki M2807 are the 8mm members of the current TCN Vault lineup. These compact, magazine-fed pistols must be used with the correct 8mm blank cartridge specified on the gun. An 8mm blank is not a substitute for a 9mm P.A.K. cartridge, and a 9mm round should never be forced into an 8mm model.
If you already own one of these pistols, check whether the slide, frame, case label, and manual agree before ordering. When purchasing a new model and ammunition together, matching the product titles and caliber markings at checkout provides another useful check.
9mm P.A.K.: The Main Zoraki Pistol Caliber
Most Zoraki pistols in the TCN Vault catalog use 9mm P.A.K. ammunition. That group includes compact models such as the M906, the M914 and M2914, full-size models such as the M918, M2918 and 4918, and the distinctive M925 family.
The letters P.A.K. identify a blank cartridge intended for compatible magazine-fed pistols. They do not mean 9mm live ammunition, and they do not describe the same cartridge as a revolver blank. Never use 9x19mm live ammunition, .380 ACP live ammunition, or any modified cartridge in a Zoraki blank gun.
Zoraki R1 and R2 Revolver Ammunition
The Zoraki R1 and Zoraki R2 require extra attention because revolver ammunition can be labeled differently from pistol ammunition. The manufacturer’s R1/R2 documentation lists 9mm P.A.K. and .380 R Blank specifications, while commercial revolver cartridges are also commonly labeled 9mm R.K.
Model and market configurations can vary. The safe rule is simple: buy only the cartridge designation stamped on your individual revolver and stated in its supplied manual. If the markings are unclear, stop and contact TCN Vault before ordering rather than relying on appearance or diameter.
Why 9mm P.A.K. and 9mm R.K. Are Not the Same
Both names include “9mm,” but they describe ammunition built for different feeding systems. P.A.K. cartridges are associated with compatible semi-automatic pistols that feed from a magazine and cycle their slides. R.K. or .380 R blanks have a rim suited to a revolver cylinder. Similar caliber names do not make the cartridges interchangeable.
A Five-Step Buying Check
- Identify the exact model. M807 and M2807 are different from M906 and M2906.
- Read the caliber marking. Confirm it on the gun and in the supplied manual.
- Match the action. Select pistol blanks for the specified pistol or revolver blanks for the specified revolver.
- Compare the product listing. The ammunition title should match the caliber you confirmed.
- Ask before guessing. Contact TCN Vault if any marking, manual, or listing appears inconsistent.
Use and Store Blank Ammunition Responsibly
Wear eye and hearing protection, keep the muzzle and revolver cylinder gap away from every person, and never fire at close range. Keep blank guns locked away from children and stored separately from ammunition. Do not alter the barrel, colored safety tip, cartridges, or internal safety features. Review the TCN Vault blank-gun safety rules before use and check applicable local laws and shipping restrictions before ordering.
