    What is this?

    Found these in a bucket of range brass from local Sheriff's range. They appear to be 9mm. They have a telescoping section. The inside has a ledge with a recess in the center of it, about a third of the way down. Thanks, Shortlegs

    This is an empty cartridge from Simunition practice ammo that fired from a regular firearm, auto or revolver.....the projectal is a small plastic head with a marking paint in it. It is used for force on force training. I have used it in revolvers years ago and later was developed for autoloaders....neat stuff but expensive per shot..afish4570

    I left LEO and security detail before we could play with simunition. I heard it was a fun but pain full learning experience.

    Thanks afish4570! I have heard of simunition but never seen it. Appears Sheriff's Dept. did some training with it.

    Simunition marking pellets sting the recipient smartly. They are like paintballs on steroids.
    I don't paint bullets. I like Black Rifle Coffee. Sacred cows are always fair game. California is to the United States what Syria is to Russia and North Korea is to China/South Korea/Japan--a Hermit Kingdom detached from the real world and led by delusional maniacs, an economic and social basket case sustained by "foreign" aid so as to not lose military bases.
