Why OZK (Ozkursan) is the Choice of Professional Trainers
The OZK brand is renowned for its metallurgical precision. In 2026, OZK continues to lead the market with its “Silver Case” technology, which utilizes a specialized nickel plating to ensure smoother extraction and feeding, especially in high-tolerance firearms like the Zoraki and Retay series. This low-friction feeding is critical during rapid-fire drills and high-stress defensive scenarios, where a jammed cartridge is not an option.
Beyond standard blanks, OZK specializes in non-lethal chemical delivery. Their hollow-point pepper rounds are engineered to mimic the visual profile of live duty ammunition while carrying a potent OC irritant payload.This provides a dual layer of protection: a powerful psychological deterrent due to the realistic appearance and a debilitating chemical cloud upon discharge.With a focus on clean-burning powders that minimize carbon buildup, OZK ensures your training sessions are effective and your equipment maintenance is simplified.
Frequently Asked Questions: OZK Ammunition
Q: What is the benefit of the silver nickel coating on OZK rounds?
A: The nickel-coated finish is significantly “slicker” than brass or iron.This lower coefficient of friction allows the rounds to slide easily out of the magazine and into the chamber, drastically reducing the chances of a feed jam (failure to feed) or a stuck casing (failure to extract).
Q: Are OZK Pepper Rounds legal in South Africa?
A: Yes. OZK pepper and blank rounds do not contain a projectile and are therefore not classified as ammunition under the Firearms Control Act. They are legal to purchase and own without a license by anyone over the age of 18 for the purpose of self-defense and training.
Q: Do OZK blanks sound like real gunfire?
A: Absolutely. OZK is known for a high-decibel acoustic report (averaging 130dB+). They provide a sharp, intimidating crack and a bright muzzle flash that is virtually indistinguishable from a live firearm, making them an excellent tool for deterrence.
Q: Will these work in my 9mm blank pistol?
A: OZK cartridges are standard 9mm P.A.K (9x22mm). They are fully compatible with all major semi-automatic blank guns sold in South Africa, including models from Blow, Retay, Ekol, and Kuzey.
