Paint pellet gun: Difference between revisions

The Paint Pellet Gun was used by [[CPO Mendez]] and drill instructors on the SPARTAN-II training program to introduce the [[Spartan-II]] trainees to the unpredictability of a front-line combat zone. Pellet guns were used to snipe the Spartans in parade drills or other supposedly "safe activities"  to teach them to keep on their toes during all situations.  The guns were also used by a unit of ODSTs during a test of the new MJOLNIR Mark VI armor in Songnam, Korea.  It is presumed that most testing facilities use marker guns instead of live ammunition, in order to avoid damaging prototype equipment.

The paint pellet gun was probably only used in the SPARTAN-II training regiment when the inductees were young, around 6, 7, 8, or 9 years of age.
