Maybe simunition was only given to OPFOR? I notice that there is also MILES on the weapons.Roy Harding said:OK - but if they're using simmunition, why is there a BFA on the weapon?
No. Simunition fires a projectile that will cause enough pain that you know you've been hit. However, it won't kill or injure (less some bruising).Yrys said:civy question : is simmunition blank ?

Yep. However, SNC Tec is now GD-OTS (Canada).Yrys said:WW it's canadian !
MedTech said:Simunition is basically a round that has a plastic paint tipped bullet, then a metal one. It has less gun powder so the range is limited, and it not only hurts but it marks the place where you've been hit. Hence the paint![]()

Soldiers of 33 Light Infantry Battalion take cover behind a flipped car during operations in built-up areas training, on Exercise Stalwart Guardian 2004 at CFB Petawawa. The Exercise involved more than 3600 troops-including some 3,000 Reservists- and focused on operations in the transitional phase of war, which include raids, blocks, and operations in built-up areas.
