Stun round

Stun Rounds are used by the UNSC during training. They are non-lethal, but they give the victim a feeling of what being in a war might be like. The stun rounds have been used in training for both Spartan-II and Spartan-III trainees. Dr Halsey once stated that Stun Rounds could be lethal at point-blank range when John was facing a heavily-armoured guard during a practice section in which Halsey watched them to make sure they were ready for the Project: MJOLNIR.
