The Nevada statute (NRS 202.253) defines firearm as:

  “Firearm†means any device designed to be used as a weapon from which a projectile may be expelled through the barrel by the force of any explosion or other form of combustion.


A blank gun that cannot be made to expel a projectile would not meet that definition, and not be prohibited from being possessed by a former felon. HOWEVER, if you are under parole or probation, I would STRONGLY suggest that be discussed with the parole Officer.

No. It could still be used to commit a crime. How is everyone supposed to know it only fires blanks?

How could you tell the difference between real bullets and blanks?

Blanks will not kill you while the latter will. _____ A real "bullet" has a distinct projectile ("bullet") attached to the front of the cartridge, while with a blank, the brass cartridge is simply crimped closed. If you're not sure, don't use it - ask someone who knows. <><><><> Agree with the answer immediately above. In regard to the FIRST answer, while a blank cartridge does not have a bullet (the projectile part of a cartridge) people HAVE been killed or badly injured by blank cartridges. They will produce a very high pressure jet of gas that can hurt you quite badly at close range.
