Getting a private demo of state-of-the-art training technology is one of them. Two weeks ago I was able to meet up with Mark Meadows, US Sales & Training Director for Ultimate Training Munitions (UTM) for a private demo of some of their non-lethal training ammunition used in close combat training.

From left-to-right are the Target Bullet Round (TBR), Battlefield Blank Round (BBR), Silent Bullet Round (SBR), and Man-Marker Round (MMR) in 5.56 linked for the M249 SAW, 5.56, and 9mm.

The UTM 5.56mm MMR marking cartridges functioned shockingly reliably over tens of thousands of rounds for the entire course, and we ran A LOT of it through a plethora of SureFire MAG5-60 HCM (High Capacity Magazine) 60-shot quad-stack (4×2 config) rifle mags (magazines). The SureFire mags worked like magic. Magic.

Home > Ultimate Training Munitions > UTM Ammunition. In reality-based training, the threat of consequence is paramount - it's what changes or affirms behavior. Effective reality-based training incorporates both visual and pain penalty consequence. The UTM Man-Marker Round (MMR) consistently marks at any angle to include glancing hits or oblique angles and pain penalty is minimal but consistent due to the controlled velocity of the patented dual stage primer design.
