A company producing hunting rifles in the Beyşehir district of Konya sent its manufactured blank-firing shotguns to film producers in the United States and India.
A company manufacturing hunting firearms in Konya aims to increase its share in foreign trade with its blank-firing shotgun, for which it has also obtained a patent.
The company based in the Organized Industrial Zone (OIZ) of Beyşehir district, known for its hunting rifle production, continues its operations and exports a significant portion of its production.
The company contributes to the economy with a production of nearly 50,000 hunting rifles and blank-firing pistols annually.
The blank-firing shotguns specially produced by the company for the film industry, for which it holds a patent, are attracting the attention of producers.
The rifles, indistinguishable from real ones, with an 18-round magazine capacity that fires blank cartridges, are used in the filming of action scenes for the silver screen.
The company aims to draw attention to Turkey's capabilities in this field by sending a limited number of these weapons.
Hasan Ergin, the Chairman of the Company's Board of Directors, stated that they have sent 150 blank-firing shotguns to film producers on custom orders so far. He remarked:
"With these blank-firing weapons, we anticipate an increase in our export share. We already have significant exports in the hunting rifle category. We produced this weapon upon request. We are the first to produce this type of blank-firing shotgun. Its mechanism is the same as a regular firearm, but it is a safe weapon for human life and does not cause harm, making it a valuable tool in the cinema industry."
