Stun rounds are non-lethal ammunition used by the UNSC in training exercises. They were used on SPARTAN-II, SPARTAN-III, and SPARTAN-IV trainees.[1][2][3]

While the tactical training rounds typically used in the training of normal infantry are sometimes also called stun rounds,[4] the stun ammunition used in the Spartan III candidates' training are a distinct type of round, being rubber bullets[2] which numb the targets they hit by the sheer force of the impact alone rather than an anesthetic in the case of the TTR round.[5] Their predecessors, the Spartan II's, were trained using Paint pellet rounds instead.[6] Meanwhile, the rounds used in the training of the SPARTAN-IVs seemingly inflicted a powerful electric shock on their targets upon impact.[3]
