Safety ammunition for use with a variety of weapons has a holder, charge carrier and a projectile. The holder has a base and cylindrical and frustoconical holes. The charge carrier is retained by the holder and includes a nose, a hollow central portion which can receive a powder charge, a tail with a base, a collar between the nose and the tail, and a cover adapted to close the hollow portion at the base. The projectile has a base and central hole and is retained between the holder and the carrier. This ammunition results in lower noise levels upon shooting as well as reducing range and danger upon firing.
