Frequently asked questions

Does the Zoraki 918 fire bullets?

No. It is a starting, alarm and signal pistol designed for 9 mm P.A.K. blank cartridges. It cannot be used with 9 × 19 mm ammunition or other cartridges containing a projectile.

Is it safe to fire towards a person?

No. Although a blank cartridge contains no bullet, hot gas, combustion residue and pressure leaving the muzzle can cause severe injury at close range. The pistol must always be handled as if it were loaded.

What ammunition does the Zoraki 918 use?

It uses suitable 9 mm P.A.K. blank cartridges only. A similarly sized 9 × 19 mm live cartridge is not compatible and must never be inserted into the pistol.

Does it have an SA or SA/DA trigger?

Zoraki’s official product information describes the 918 as double-action. It can therefore operate in both single-action with the hammer cocked and double-action with the hammer lowered.

What is the magazine capacity?

The removable magazine holds 18 cartridges. The manufacturer lists the maximum total capacity as 18+1 when one cartridge is in the chamber. Loading and unloading should always follow the instruction manual.

Can it launch signal flares or fireworks?

The 918-MC version sold by Jahipaun is not intended for launching signal flares or fireworks. It should only be used with compatible 9 mm P.A.K. blank cartridges.

How loud is the report?

The report from a blank cartridge is extremely loud and can damage unprotected hearing. Always use hearing and eye protection, and never fire indoors or close to people or animals.

When is the Zoraki 918 the right choice?

The Zoraki 918 is well suited to users who want a full-size starting pistol with a large magazine and realistic handling. Its 18-round magazine reduces the need for frequent reloading, while the matte-chrome slide distinguishes it from the standard black version.

A smaller Zoraki 906 or 914 may be more practical when minimum size and weight are the main priorities. The 918 provides a larger grip, a longer sight radius and handling closer to that of a full-size pistol.

Expert recommendation

Use only good-quality 9 mm P.A.K. blank cartridges. After firing, allow the pistol to cool, confirm that it is completely unloaded and clean the chamber and barrel channel with the supplied brush. Blank-cartridge residue can affect reliability if allowed to accumulate.

Transport the pistol in its carrying case and store it where unauthorised persons cannot access it. Because it closely resembles a live firearm, it must never be carried visibly in public, used to intimidate anyone or presented as a conventional firearm. Always comply with current rules governing purchase, storage, carrying and use.

A full-size starting pistol with an 18-round magazine

The Zoraki 918 combines a high-capacity magazine, semi-automatic operation and a full-size grip. Its matte-chrome slide, polymer frame and included carrying case make it a practical option for sporting starts and other lawful applications.
