Help ID Strange 9mm casing.

[Krfresno]

A friend on mine found the following 9 mm casing with plastic insert heavily crimped to the brass on a police range that also allows the public to shoot. I have never seen anything like this before. We are curious as to what these were used for. Any help would be greatly appreciated. He found about 6 of these.

The head stamp reads IVI 9 mm 09. A loaded 9mm round is included in the picture for scale.

Well, since I'm the first one to see your post, I'll give you an answer from a previous post about these rounds...... They're Simunition training rounds.

Yup, Simmuntion FX rounds. Like paintball, but with real guns. Simmunitions make for excellent training scenarios.

[Bzcraig]

Yup, ditto.

... and the IVI headstamp stands for "Industries Valcartier Inc." which are manufactured in Valcartier, Quebec, Canada ...

I found a few of those at our range. I kept them and added 'em to my "shelf of cartridges".
