"Non Guns" are prop weapons that are manufactured, sold, and rented by International Studio Services (ISS) and frequently used for scenes in movies or television shows in which the use of real weapons firing blanks is deemed unsafe for the actors or stuntmen. They are electronically-operated and discharge small explosive squibs that make a flash and produce smoke, but they do not eject shell casings or have any moving parts besides the trigger. The discharge of the squib can be loud or quiet depending on set noise regulations. This makes Non Guns safer and quieter than real weapons firing blanks; it also means that they can be used in filming locations with strict gun laws where permits to use blank-firing weapons might be prohibitively expensive.

While they have many advantages for film crews, most Non Guns bear only a loose resemblance to their "real steel" counterparts, and thus stand out as fake to audiences who know what to look for. However, some film directors evidently do not take this in mind, and thus, it is plainly obvious in some movies or TV shows when Non Guns are being used. Some directors even film them up-close. Examples of such productions are seen below.

The following are some of the Non Guns available from ISS, as well as the films and TV shows in which they have appeared.
