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:W W 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

CFB Petawawa, Ontario, Canada
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.
