This looks slightly similar to "Simunitions", but Sims have dye colors in them for practicing tactical situations...
Is this for public (as much as public can be in Europe) consumption, or for military practice?
mgh
In fact, it is from Simunition, but for "paper" practising; not for shooting at "humans". It can also be used only in the special FX-Barrels from Simunition, but allows real practise shooting skills on paper-targets.
Its NOT for public sale, as the ammo has no CIP-Approvement and also the extra barrels needed, are
1) to expensive for privates and
2) are not on sale for privates.
They are maybe to get, but why using them, as "live" ammo is much cheaper, if you like practise-shooting. 1000 rounds live ammo (brass case, Boxer primed), do only cost 99,-€ (about 118USD). The FX-ammo costs nearly twice here....
The FX-ammo and the Simunition ammo are only used by Police units and some Military units here.
The US-Army here uses as Training and Marker ammo, the UTM-System (Have seen it personally at the big training camp Grafenwoehr/Bavaria)
If you like photos of this ammo and der principal system, let me knew, an I will post pictures of the ammo and a cut of them, to see the construction. (They use 2 (two!!)primers, in one round...
In .223 (5,56x45) the Training ammo has a RIMFIRE primer as first initial primer, to avoid accidently firing of a live round in training conditions.
