-==Background==
+==Description==
 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 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 body part that is hit, simulating a bullet wound to that 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 anesthetic in the paint can also knock someone unconscious for up to a few hours, depending on where they are shot.
-The rounds are known to be used in [[MA5B ICWS Assault Rifle]]s, [[M6]] Magnum Sidearms, [[SRS99C-S2 AM Sniper Rifle]]s, and [[XBR55]] Battle Rifles.<ref>'''[[Halo: Contact Harvest]]'''</ref> There are also TTR grenades.<ref>'''[[Halo: Evolutions - Essential Tales of the Halo Universe]]''', ''[[Dirt]]''</ref>

 ==Trivia==
-*The paint is said to have a sweet smell to it.
+*[[Lieutenant Commander]] [[Jilan al-Cygni]] used two TTR shots to knock Governor [[Nils Thune]] unconscious and end his resistance to the evacuation plan for [[Harvest]] during the [[First Battle of Harvest]].
-*If the paint hits an object and splatters on someone, they can still be paralyzed.
-*The paint can be adapted to be used in claymores.
-*The proximity fuse will prevent the user from firing through a narrow gap or chain-link fence as it will dissolve in mid-air. Thus, in training the user may stand in the open, and as long as their opponents are on the other side of a fence, they will be safe.
-*[[ONI]] [[Lieutenant Commander]] [[Jilan al-Cygni]] used two TTR shots to knock Governor [[Nils Thune]] unconscious and end his resistance to the evacuation plan for [[Harvest]] during the [[First Battle of Harvest]].
-*This ammo may be based on modern day paintballs.
-*The TTR is similar to the modern-day "simunition" rounds.
