The Blank-Firing Bruni New .380 Revolver – 2" Nickel is a professional replica firearm designed for film, television, stage productions, reenactment, and training use. Styled after a classic .38 Special revolver, this model offers a familiar, camera-friendly silhouette while incorporating modern blank-firing safety design.
This revolver features a top-firing, fully blocked barrel, meaning the barrel itself is completely obstructed and does not allow gas to exit through the muzzle. When fired, gas vents upward through the top of the frame rather than forward. This top-firing design is commonly used in theatrical environments and is often preferred for controlled blank discharge during close-quarters scenes and stage performances.
The Bruni New .380 operates in double-action, allowing performers or operators to fire the revolver either by pulling the trigger or by manually cocking the hammer. A 5-shot swing-out cylinder with locking mechanism provides traditional revolver handling and visual authenticity, particularly in close-up or handheld shots.
Finished in bright nickel, the 2" barrel variant offers a compact, period-neutral profile suitable for contemporary crime dramas, historical productions, or stage work requiring a short-barreled revolver aesthetic. The reduced barrel length makes this model easier to frame in tight shots while retaining the visual language of a traditional revolver.
Manufactured in Italy by Bruni, the New .380 is constructed from durable Zamak alloy with soft-touch polymer grip panels, offering a balanced feel without the weight of a live-fire firearm.
