Purpose
- Accurate and reliable marking projectile for Force-on-Force or Force-on-Target training.
- Adds realism and stress to training by providing a threat of consequence with physical and visual stimulus.
- Use of Force/ROE, Tactics, Skill Building, Scenarios, Movement Drills and other Interactive Training.
- Use as a safe prelude or alternative to ‘Live-Fire’ target or CQB training.
- Accuracy and reliability allows for multiple firearms, CQB, and marksmanship applications (360° firing, movement drills, weapon transitions)
Characteristics
- Normal weapon function and recoil.
- Projectiles mark at any angle to include glancing “hits” and do NOT have to burst to mark.
- Realistic and consistent cyclic rates in semiautomatic and automatic weapons, which match “Live” fire.
- Surpasses “Live Fire” reliability.
- Minimal environmental impact - low emission and available in non-toxic options only.
Usage Guidelines
- Whenever handling Converted Weapons during FOF training, UTM recommended and approved goggles, face mask, helmet and protective gloves are mandatory - no exposed skin.
- Converted weapons must be fired “clean and dry” in the weapon bore and barrel. NO LUBRICATION IN THE BARREL.
- UTM strongly recommends that at least two layers of loose fitting clothing or UTM PPE clothing be worn during “Force-on-Force” Training exercises using UTM ammunition. One layer of clothing (i.e. Military BDU/ACU) is mandatory.
- Contact shots and shots to bare skin are prohibited. Maintain a 0.25m/10in safe separation distance during training engagements.
- Appropriate hearing and eye protection (safety glasses or goggles) is mandatory.
- Intended only for supervised training conducted in accordance with safety training protocols by military or professional training and security organizations.
- Keep all ammunition out of reach of children.
- UTM assumes no responsibility for injuries, loss or damage resulting from misuse of this or any of its products.
- Before using any UTM product, the end user must consult, and comply with, as applicable, all laws, rules, regulations, local ordinances, health and safety regulations, and safety practices recognized as standard in the firearms industry and for related training. The end user of any UTM product is solely responsible for any and all compliance in this regard.
