Revolver cylinder configured to accommodate blanks and method for simulating firearm operation

A firearm configured for simulating firearm operation comprising:

• a frame including a handle, a trigger and a barrel;
• and
• a revolver type cylinder including a housing member removably securable to said frame and including at least one chamber with an open proximal end to receive a cartridge and a closed distal end to prevent discharge of cartridge debris from said firearm in response to firing of said cartridge;
• wherein said at least one chamber includes a passage to exhaust gas expelled from said fired cartridge and said passage includes at least one groove extending from a housing member proximal end along an outer periphery of said at least one chamber to direct said expelled gas within said chamber toward said housing member proximal end.

A firearm configured for simulating firearm operation comprising:

• a frame including a handle, a trigger and a barrel;
• and
• a revolver type cylinder including a housing member removably securable to said frame and including at least one chamber with an open proximal end to receive a cartridge and a closed distal end to prevent discharge of cartridge debris from said firearm in response to firing of said cartridge;
• wherein said housing member further includes at least one exhaust port extending from said at least one chamber to a housing member distal end and angled toward said housing member distal end.

A method of simulating firearm operation, wherein a firearm includes a frame with an open portion, a trigger and a barrel, said method comprising:

• (a) removably receiving a revolver type cylinder in said frame open portion, wherein said cylinder includes a housing member including at least one chamber with an open proximal end to receive a cartridge, a closed distal end and a passage, said passage including at least one groove extending from a housing member proximal end along an outer periphery of said at least one chamber;
• (b) facilitating insertion of a cartridge into said at least one chamber for firing by said firearm;
• and
• (c) preventing discharge of cartridge debris from said firearm via said chamber closed distal end in response to firing of said cartridge, wherein step (c) further includes:
• (c.1) exhausting gas expelled from said fired cartridge by directing said expelled gas within said chamber toward said housing member proximal end via said at least one groove.

A method of simulating firearm operation, wherein a firearm includes a frame with an open portion, a trigger and a barrel, said method comprising:

• (a) removably receiving a revolver type cylinder in said frame open portion, wherein said cylinder includes a housing member including at least one chamber with an open proximal end to receive a cartridge, a closed distal end and a passage, wherein step (a) further includes:
• (a.1) configuring said passage to include dimensions sufficient to produce a desired noise level in response to firing of said cartridge;
• (b) facilitating insertion of a cartridge into said at least one chamber for firing by said firearm;
• and
• (c) preventing discharge of cartridge debris from said firearm via said chamber closed distal end in response to firing of said cartridge, wherein step (c) further includes:
• (c.1) exhausting gas expelled form said fired cartridge via said passage.

• (b) facilitating insertion of a cartridge into said at least one chamber for firing by said firearm;
• and
• (c) preventing discharge of cartridge debris from said firearm via said chamber distal end in response to firing of said cartridge, and step (c.1) further includes:
• (c.1.1) exhausting gas expelled from said fired cartridge via said at least one angled exhaust port.
