AirFXSQUIBS - Bullet & Blood Loss Rigs

There is now an alternative to attaching a pyrotechnic squib to an actor for simulated bullet hits, this is particularly useful for nervous or inexperienced actors or crew or where budget won't allow the attended SFX technicians for the more traditional pyro bullet hits (see our solutions for SFX attended safe pyro squibs)

AirFX Squibs are "LPA" Low Pressure Air driven systems used to create non-explosive, totally safe squib hits and other safe blood & dust effects

All our AirFX Squib units share the following benefits over dangerous and loud Pyrotechnic Squibs
  • Extremely realistic single blood hit or dust hit effects
  • Totally Safe to Rig & Use ...it's just air
  • No risk to Actors... NOTHING in their operation, wearing or use is remotely dangerous
  • No issues with HSE, Production or Insurance
  • Very little noise, means actors can "act" shot and not just surprised
  • Fast resets
  • Low consumables cost of just the blood for repeats and re-takes
  • Perfect for nervous actors
  • Control over the size of the effect
  • A max of 2 or 3 simultaneous bullet-hits is possible by using multiple AirFXSQUIBS units (for larger numbers of hits, then our SFX crew attended, pyro squibs are the better solution.
