Picked these things up at a Gun show, they are plastic 38 caliber cases that have a primer pocket big enough for a LARGE pistol primer, instead of the standard small that a .38 would normally take.
Anyway you prime these little plastic buggers with a large pistol primer and then insert a black plastic cylindrical/flat nose projectile into the top of the case, (much as you would reloading a bullet but you can do all this by hand)
The primer fires the lightwieght plastic projectile somewhere in the vacinity of 500 fps, which in turn will go through a layer of cardboard.
Recomended shooting setup is indoors at a cardboard box with a piece of carpet hung inside to stop the projectile.
I haven't had time to mess with them much but they seem like they will be fun once I get some CCI large pistol Primers. I bought a box of Winchester Primers and they don't alway go off with the first drop of the hammer. The pamphlet that came inside the box of these things says they use CCI with no misfires so that is what I am going to go out and get
