How Do BFAs Work?
I'm wondering how a blank adaptor allows a slide to cycle with such low power loads.

They block the gases from escaping the muzzle so this gives the gases enough power to kick the action back.

Of course, it also tends to make the actions much dirtier and wear them down faster than live rounds.

The the weapon is not a direct blow back then it needs modification for it to work with blanks.

Something like an AR needs no more than a BFA but something like an M1911 needs adjustments to the barrel including a muzzle plugs and milling down the part of the barrel seen in the ejection port.
At least that's what I think I know.

Maybe I'm wrong about this (Steve can correct me), but don't 1911s need the ejection port widened because of the fact that blanks have extended brass heads to hold the extra powder? I imagine that this would present problems in an un-modified 1911 because it would have trouble fitting properly through the ejection port while the gun was cycling. Or, at least, there would be a higher risk of a stovepipe malf.

Well, yes, I've been told by several armorers that the Beretta/Taurus 92 is one of the most reliable blank guns, and one of the easiest to convert.
