Purpose
- This round is NOT for Force-on-Force use. This is a target round ONLY.
- Intended for use as a training round in shorter range situations such as shoot houses, 25-meter ranges or in MOUNT/FIBUA ranges during CQB type training.
- Specifically designed so that its impact energy is only 15 Joules (11.1 ft lbs) on average.
Characteristics
- Normal weapon function and recoil.
- Limited Penetrations – Singular shots will not penetrate ¾” plywood, reducing damage to training facilities, target traps, etc.
- Reliable and accurate short range Lethal CQB Target Training.
- Safety - the 5.56mm TBR cartridge has a recessed rim fire power load and will only function in a UTM TBR conversion.
- An accurate and reliable alternative to “Live” ammunition (SRTA, CQT, Frangible, Ball) for CQB Target Based Training.
- Realistic and consistent cyclic rates in semi-automatic and automatic weapons, which match “Live” fire.
- Surpasses “Live Fire” reliability.
- Minimal environmental impact - low emission and available in non-toxic option only
