You have to put one of these into ballistic gel
A shop called "Ann Summers" sells that training ammunition in the UK. Comes in all sorts of calibres.
The Norwegian army uses this for our hk416s. It requires a replacement simple blowback bolt, but works quite well. I once fired eight full mags of it during a suppressive fire exercise, without significant problems.
Used to train with those when i was in army service here in germany. 5.56 is brass cased, needs a special bolt in the G36. 7.62 is primarily used belted in the MG3, tracer rounds are available. You can use them quite a bit further than 50m if you are only going for man sized targets, but the slightest amount of wind and they fly all over the place. Do not mistake them for harmless, up to 200m the PT Ammo is at least as deadly as the real deal. Projectiles deform and break apart upon impact.
It'd be really interesting to see you shoot a few things with it. At that velocity, even plastic will cause problems.
now that is FAST!
Airsoft for men.
I've found that my StG-58 and Ishapore 2A1 extract it very reliably, they just don't eject for crap. Pull the handle, tip rifle over to dump out case, chamber next round.
I got some from Sportsmen Guide about 3 years ago and shot them in my FN FAL and they were ok, did extract worth a dare. Went thru 3/4 ply wood at 30 yards and dinted the sheet metal that was behind it. Plastic bullet weighted 11grains.
Finally someone made a Video on them! I found like hundreds of them while metal detecting.
I use this ammo (fairly easy to find in America) and it is fun to shoot, but is not very accurate. I shoot it with a Hk91 clone with the light weight bolt that is specially designed for these rounds. Even though they are plastic they are no joke. I was shooting some at the range and I wanted to see what would happen if I shot a 4"x4" block of wood. I fired and looked at the wood and I though I missed because I didn't see a mark, but I found the round did borrow into the wood about an inch. Like the Bloke says they decelerate quickly because of their weight. Another time I was using them was at a friends farm. We were blasting all sorts of rounds down a dirt road into a side of a hill. As we walked down the road to look at our "targets" we found one of these blue plastic bullets laying in the road. It left a foot long skid mark and was just laying there perfectly. It didn't tumble or turn. It just stopped.
It is more than 20 years ago I saw this ammo when I joined the German Army. Didn't know that it still exists. Thanks for showing.
Wow that’s way more accurate then I though it would be.
I have shot tons of this through a G3 with the corresponding bolt at the ILRRP School . an awesome training tool for setting up small danger area CQB ranges.
At West Point Museum there is an exhibit where they display types of ammunition. One of which is a German Bakelite round from WWII. It is red and it looks plastic, but essentially looks like the round used here and was used for the same purposes as a means to train the troops rather than for combat.
I've seen this online here in the States and wasn't sure about it. Supposedly it will cycle a G3 type action but won't cycle a gas gun.
We used this in the German Army with the G3. There is a special light bolt, that you have to put in the rifle in order to cycle this low pressure ammo.
I fired this type of ammunition at Vogalsan in the late eighties using a L1A1 SLR.
Bloke - when you said you were shooting over a crony, I was expecting you to use Chap as a rest. Sorry - bad joke - long week. Keep up the good work.
A friend of mine runs this through his MG42. At an indoor range, the flash is indeed impressive--a ball of flame hovering at the muzzle. :D
