The "prop" rounds shouldn't have had real primers, either.

They are already supposed to declare conflicts of interest.

If by "avalanche" you mean "escalation of conflict", yes. They don't allow firearms because of one side shoots, the other side shoots back, then everyone is shooting and it's a real war. Without guns, they have to actually go up and fight the other guy, which is much less effective fighting. A few guys beat up a few other guys, instead of dozens shooting and killing dozens.

And an ejection of hot gas from the muzzle. That has mass.

If you can get cheap ones for cheap, then get a bunch of cheap ones and just replace them when they fail. As long as you're not abusing them, they'll last plenty long.
