Had a question for any other Bravo's out there:

I'm about to go on a deployment and the CO wants the host nation guys to run through their drills with blanks, and wants to know what kind of blank adapters we need to purchase. If I recall correctly, the last time I saw OPFOR shooting blanks with those things, there were no adapters, I figured the 7.62 cartridge had enough ass to cycle the bolt w/o a bullet coming out. But one source told me that those were handloads. Anyone have any suggestions on how to handle the issue of blanks with the AK?
