Snap Cap - A dummy cartridge with a spring-loaded "primer". Used to check a firearm for proper feeding, action, extraction and ejection without the inconvenience of using live ammunition. Because the spring-loaded "primer" absorbs the impact of the hardened firing pin, the pin is much less likely to shatter than if the gun were to be "dry-fired" on an empty chamber.
