Explosives: Frequently Asked Questions
Are blasting caps legal to buy?
Blasting caps are regulated explosives under federal law. Purchasing energetic initiators generally requires the appropriate ATF federal explosives license or permit, and state and local rules can add requirements on top. EOD Gear supplies energetic items only through approved channels to authorized, verified buyers. Need the training realism without the regulation? Inert detonators and inert explosives replicate the real items with no energetic material.
What does EOD Gear manufacture?
EOD Gear holds an ATF FEL Type 20 explosive manufacturing license and FFL Type 10, manufacturing in Franklin, Tennessee under ISO 9001:2015 — including Pan disrupter ammunition in 40, 90, and 110 grain loads. Manufactured in-house, not resold imports.
Who can purchase explosives and initiators?
Authorized professional buyers: government agencies, military units, public safety bomb squads, and appropriately licensed commercial users. EOD Gear verifies eligibility and manages compliance on every energetic order — contact us before ordering to confirm requirements for your organization.
