The Force-on-Force cartridge is propelled solely by the gas generator, a rifle sized, proprietary primer which contains lead free priming compound at a very closely monitored dosage. Upon ignition, the rapidly expanding gases travel through an orifice whose size is tightly controlled during manufacturing. This orifice, amongst other factors, acts as a gate keeper governing the amount of gases reaching the 7 grain projectile, which is then propelled at a velocity ranging from approx. 375fps to 450fps, depending upon the weapon system.

The remaining gases which did not travel through the orifice, have by now expanded the internal piston of the cartridge, generating rearward force, which propels the weapon’s slide or bolt rearward, allowing ejection of the spent cartridge and a fresh round to be picked up and chambered by the reciprocating slide or bolt.

It is this forceful rearward expansion that also gives the shooter the valuable and realistic recoil impulse, very closely resembling a discharge of a lethal duty cartridge. To assure a proper gas seal, the internal piston is equipped with a rubber o-ring, which is located ahead of the crimp groove. This crimp ensures that the piston is locked to its sleeve and holds together even at expansion forces in excess of 200 lbs.

The projectile consists of the cup, cap and payload, namely glycerin based paint. The cup contains the paint and is then topped with the cap. Upon impact, the cap is driven into the cup, whereupon the pre-serrated petals of the cup open up, allowing the paint to escape, imprinting a circular, bullet entry wound simulation onto the target. Due to the glycerin base of the paint, it will neither freeze nor melt, maintaining its cake frosting type consistency from -30F to beyond 130F. This paint will not dry up, enabling it to be wiped off any surface with a moist cloth long after the training has concluded. Clothing and protective gear used in training can be easily cleaned by normal washing.

Due to the stable and lead free nature of its priming compound and payload, this cartridge does not emit the noxious fumes associated with other products, nor does it expire or dry up with time. Since conventional propellant is not used, gun fouling is minimal, allowing trouble free use without having to interrupt the curriculum with constant cleaning. An added benefit is that the training area can be swept up after conclusion of training, with the remaining materials yielding a price at recycling, instead of generating extra expenses for HazMat removal.

The Force on Force Non Lethal Training Cartridge is designed to operate in weapons systems and conversion units that are set up to be used as a maximally realistic, even identical, replica of the actual duty firearm issued to the student during Reality and Scenario based training. The intent is to have a weapon/ ammunition combination that is virtually indistinguishable from the lethal tool to be used on duty, with the exception of the terminal effect, one being for training during Reality based scenarios, the other one for duty. By training this way, the student does not have to make the mental conversion from the training weapon to the issue weapon, thereby training as close to reality as is possible.
