I found a few of these spent casings at a police training range today. What are they? Some sort of blanks?

IVI = Industries Valcartier Inc. (Presently SNC Technologies Inc.) ...it's Canadian, Vancouver


ARman

Simunitions rounds.

Case separation 9 mm para.

IVI simunition marking rounds for training. search "IVI 9mm 19" for a list of where it can be found.

Got it. Thanks guys.

I've been told they sting pretty good when your hit with one and only wearing a T shirt. IMO Cops are a bit strange, they do absolutely thankless duty and when they "play" they to choose to insure the hits are felt.

Yes, they sting a bit, and will leave bruises and welts. If they hit bare skin, they will often break the skin, especially with grazes. Long sleeves, pants, and gloves are recommended, but eye, face, throat, and groin protection is mandatory during force-on-force simunition training, as the rounds can cause serious injury there.

Think of it as a step up in training realism compared to something like paintball or airsoft guns, but also a step up in potential danger.

Binford 1103 Thumper.
Specifically designed for use as an attention getting round.
