A "snap cap" is a type of dummy cartridge designed for use in firearms. Primarily, snap caps are used for training and practice. They allow the user to cycle the action of a firearm without firing a live round, which can help in practicing malfunctions, dry-firing exercises, and ensuring that the firearm operates smoothly. The design usually includes a soft primer that can absorb the impact of the firing pin, helping to protect the firearm's internals during dry firing.
