Both are primed with copper Sellier Bellot 6mm Flobert/22 RF blanks. No powder is present.

Any ideas what they are?

Hi Paul,

They are less-lethal cartridges made in Hungary by Keserű Művek Fegyvergyár. The big one is designated 12 mm KO and the smaller one 10 mm KO.

Alex, yes, but I don’t have pictures at hand. The 12 mm is marked “10 db. Gumilövedekes töltény 12 x 6/12 R”.

What firearm are these intended for?

Is the firing pin slightly offset to make use of conventional ammunition more difficult?
