Norwegian company Green Ammo has developed a new version of its Electronic Blanks (E-blanks) system, which it showcased at the Interservice/Industry Training, Simulation and Education Conference 2021 (I/ITSEC 21) in Orlando, Florida, on 29 November–3 December.

E-blanks simulates the firing of small-arms ammunition with recoil, sound, and muzzle flash but without using blank rounds. The system's advantages over conventional blank ammunition are that it is more environmentally friendly as there are no spent cartridge cases, it is logistically simpler and saves ammunition issue and resupply time in training, it is safer, and it can be used in situations where conventional blank ammunition is forbidden. That can be particularly useful for special forces that need to train in real locations.
