The Squib

The Air Squib, is a pneumatic squib or air powered simulated bullet hit blood effect, that is mainly used for film, television or theatre productions to create the illusion of a performer being hit by a bullet. An off-screen technician sets off the effect with a remote. It is created by a professional FX technician with safety and ease-of-use in mind. And 35 years of experience. Air Squib creates safe bullet hit effects - for special effects, Makeup FX and training scenarios With this kit, you will always be ready to easily rig a bloody bullet hit on an actor. The kit also makes it possible for you to quickly create ”dust hits” as ricochets on the ground, in trees and on walls. Use the kit for simulating a bloody bullet hit in a soldier, either for definite marking of ”hits” or for practising rescue workers, military personnel or paramedics. The unit is radio controlled and the effect is activated off-screen not involving the actor. This allows perfect visual timing and helps acting. "It's a life saver! Every FX specialist must have one in their kit" NO LICENSE No need for explosive license. SILENT No loud noises. Great for "scared" actors. LIGHT Minimal weight on the shirt. Easy to hide. REUSABLE You can use it how many times you want. NO ID No need for special effects people. NO DAMAGE No damage on your clothes. AIR POWER Powered with regular air. For years it bothered me that there was no clever solution for creating a bullet hit effect without using explosives. After all, it was just about having a small red splash appear on the body to simulate a hit. The air squib works nice and safe. Is also easy to rig in a short time and re-set. Nice! Great spray! It's a great toy I must say, easy to work with and good to have on film set. I am really happy with my purchase.
