The invention relates to safety components/modifications for a firearm barrel for preventing discharge of live ammunition from the firearm. The invention includes one embodiment of a modified barrel including a rod member transversely positioned within a portion of the bore of the barrel adjacent to the chamber to prevent chambering or loading of a live round. The modified barrel further includes a standard blank-firing adapter (BFA) fixedly coupled to the distal or muzzle end of the barrel.

1. A barrel configured for preventing discharge of live ammunition from a firearm, the barrel comprising: a body having a proximal end, an opposing distal end, and a bore extending from the proximal end to the distal end, the bore having a chamber portion adjacent to the proximal end and a muzzle portion adjacent to the distal end; anda rod member transversely positioned and fixed within the chamber portion of the bore and extending entirely through the bore from one interior surface to an opposing interior surface of the bore, the rod member configured for preventing receipt and chambering of a live round of ammunition into the chamber portion, while permitting receipt and chambering of a blank round of ammunition into the chamber portion. 2. The barrel of claim 1, wherein the rod member has a first end and an opposing second end and a central portion defined in between, the central portion residing within the bore. 3. The barrel of claim 2, wherein the first and second ends are supported and retained by first and second apertures, respectively, defined on the body of the barrel, wherein the first aperture is on one side of the body of the barrel and the second aperture is on an opposing side of the barrel and the bore is defined between. 4. The barrel of claim 3, wherein each of the first and second apertures extends from an exterior surface of the body to an interior surface of the bore of the body. 5. The barrel of claim 3, wherein the first and second apertures are positioned opposing one another, such that the rod member is perpendicular to a longitudinal axis of the bore. 6. The barrel of claim 3, wherein the rod member is fixedly coupled to the body by way of welded joints at the first and second apertures. 7. The barrel of claim 1, wherein the rod member is positioned a distance from the proximal end of the body that is less than a length of a live round of ammunition for a firearm to which the barrel is coupleable to. 8. The barrel of claim 1, wherein the rod member is positioned a distance from the end of the body that is greater than or equal to a length of a blank round of ammunition for a firearm to which the barrel is coupleable to. 9. The barrel of claim 1, further comprising a blank-firing adapter (BFA) coupled to the distal end of the body of the barrel. 10. The barrel of claim 9, wherein the bore includes internal threading defined along an inner surface of the muzzle portion, the internal threading is shaped and/or sized to receive and retain a portion of the BFA thereto. 11. The barrel of claim 9, wherein the BFA is fixedly coupled to the distal end by way of a welded joint. 12. A safety assembly configured for preventing discharge of live ammunition from a firearm, the assembly comprising: a firearm; anda barrel coupled to the firearm and adapted to prevent discharge of a live round of ammunition from the firearm, the barrel comprising: a body having a proximal end, an opposing distal end, and a bore extending from the proximal end to the distal end, the bore having a chamber portion adjacent to the proximal end and a muzzle portion adjacent to the distal end; anda rod member transversely positioned and fixed within the chamber portion of the bore and extending entirely through the bore from one interior surface to an opposing interior surface of the bore, the rod member configured for preventing receipt and chambering of a live round of ammunition into the chamber portion, while permitting receipt and chambering of a blank round of ammunition into the chamber portion. 13. The safety assembly of claim 12, wherein the rod member has a first end, an opposing second end, and a central portion defined in between the first and second ends, the first and second ends are supported and retained by first and second apertures, respectively, defined on the body of the barrel, wherein the first aperture is on one side of the body of the barrel and the second aperture is on an opposing side of the barrel and the bore is defined between, and the central portion of the rod member is positioned within the bore and is substantially perpendicular to a longitudinal axis of the bore. 14. The safety assembly of claim 13, wherein each of the first and second apertures extends from an exterior surface of the body to an interior surface of the bore of the body. 15. The safety assembly of claim 13, wherein the first and second apertures are positioned substantially opposing one another. 16. The safety assembly of claim 13, wherein the rod member is fixedly coupled to the body by way of welded joints at the first and second apertures. 17. The safety assembly of claim 12, wherein the rod member is positioned a distance from the proximal end of the body that is less than a length of a live round of ammunition for the firearm. 18. The safety assembly of claim 12, wherein the rod member is positioned a distance from the end of the body that is greater than or equal to a length of a blank round of ammunition for the firearm. 19. The safety assembly of claim 12, further comprising a blank-firing adapter (BFA) fixedly coupled to the distal end of the body of the barrel. 20. The safety assembly of claim 12, wherein the firearm is selected from the group consisting of a handgun, long gun, rifle, shotgun, carbine, machine gun, submachine gun, automatic rifle, and assault rifle.
