Whenever your breach open the Gun for some or the other reasons, such as for looking through the bore, for cleaning the bore or for taking out the Live or spent cartridge and close the breach without chambering any catridge the hammers of Box Lock (Hammer Less) weapon get cocked. To release the hammers you have to discharge them by pulling the triggers with empty chambers.

Every time you release the hammers as described above the hammers hit hard against the Box lock body, Causing damages to the body or to itself developing crack, which can result in failure of the action or can invite a disastrous accident.

To avoid the possible damages and accidents, the spring-loaded dummy cartridges are chambered. The breach is closed and the hammers are discharged as usual. Naturally the firing pin hit the spring loaded pin situated in place of the percussion cap or the detonator which due to its shock absorbing mechanism action resists the hammer from htting hard against the box lock body and reduces the impact. Naturally the possible damages to your weapon are eliminated.
