Abstract

The bullet for a training cartridge has a thin probe extending therefrom to reduce its maximum range. The training cartridge provides realistic trajectory, sound, recoil and sighting accuracy and produces identifiable target penetration with reduced risk of richochet and to create the same cartridge profile as a conventional round but with limited range suitable to training purposes. The thin, elongated probe has a blunted nose and joins the main body of the bullet on a tapered surface.
