Tactical training round

A Tactical Training Round is a round used to simulate live fire.

Background
It has a plastic polymer shell that helps maintain the actual characteristics of bullet flight. Inside, there is a proximity fuse that dissolves its 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 and immobilizes the nano-fibers woven into clothing, causing it to harden. This is used for training simulations. The target then loses the ability to move the hit body part, simulating a bullet wound to the area. The rounds also have a tranquilizing effect caused by the anesthetic, essentially paralyzing (or close to it) whatever body part they hit for a short time.

The rounds are known to be used in MA5B ICWS Assault Rifles, M6 Magnum Sidearms, and BR55 Battle Rifles

Trivia

 * The paint is said to have a sweet smell to it.
 * The paint has a potent toxic chemical that could be derived from an exotic flora.
 * If the paint hits an object and splatters on someone, they can still be paralysed.
 * The paint can be adapted to be used in claymores.
