A '''tactical training round''' (TTR), occasionally referred to as a '''stun round''',<ref>'''Halo 4: Forward Unto Dawn'''</ref> is a type of training ammunition used to simulate live fire.<ref name="HCH">'''[[Halo: Contact Harvest]]''', ''page 215''</ref> | |||

The TTR has a plastic polymer shell that helps maintain the actual characteristics of bullet flight. Inside, there is a proximity fuse that dissolves the shell when the round comes within 10 centimeters of a surface. Once dissolved, a blob of red paint splatters onto the target. The paint also hides a powerful anesthetic, capable of knocking a target unconscious for hours depending on the area hit, and immobilizes the nano-fibers woven into training clothing, causing it to harden. The target then loses the ability to move the body part that is hit, simulating a bullet wound to that area. | The TTR has a plastic polymer shell that helps maintain the actual characteristics of bullet flight.
