Training Round, Blue Tip

Basic information about the statistics of this type of round:

  • Damage Rating: Tier 0, Nonlethal
  • Size: 7.62x63mm
  • Caliber: 30-06
  • Damage Description: Ammo is a hardened plastic with a steel jacket. It quickly loses stability while in flight, resulting in a much shorter range of effectiveness. However, as it is intended for training purposes, this is not a downside as it is a predictable issue, allowing for more consistent results from training range actions. These characteristics also allow for the ammo to be used as a non-lethal alternative for personnel, though care should be taken due to the much reduced range profile.
  • Effective Range: 250 yards
  • Muzzle Velocity: 2,700 ft/s
  • Muzzle Blast: A quick gout of flame that is dispersed by the facets of the flash-hider, giving the weapon a pillar of muzzle flash coming out of the end, with spokes of heat extending from the other sections of the open billed flash hider.
  • Recoil: This weapon would be limited in firing to single, semi-automatic fire when used by most personnel, though military personnel with augmented bodies can handle the weapon in full automatic fire with only a sore shoulder for extended firing sessions.
