| ==Description== | | ==Background== |
| The TTR has a plastic polymer shell that helps maintain the actual characteristics of bullet flight. Inside, there is a proximity fuse that dissolves the shell when the round comes within 10 centimeters of a surface. Once dissolved, a blob of red paint splatters onto the target. The paint also hides a powerful anesthetic, capable of knocking a target unconscious for hours depending on the area hit, and immobilizes the nano-fibers woven into training clothing, causing it to harden. The target then loses the ability to move the body part that is hit, simulating a bullet wound to that area. At the end of an exercise, the trainees can be unfrozen with a [[TTR baton|specialized baton]].{{Ref/Reuse|HCH}}

The paint also hides a powerful anesthetic and immobilizes the nano-fibers woven into clothing, causing it to harden. This is used for training simulations. The target then loses the ability to move the hit body part, simulating a bullet wound to the area. The rounds also have a tranquilizing effect caused by the anesthetic, essentially paralyzing (or close to it) whatever body part they hit for a short time. |

| The rounds can be used in most UNSC firearms, including [[MA5 series]] assault rifles, [[M6 series]] sidearms, [[SRS99 series]] sniper rifles, as well as [[XBR55 battle rifle]]s.<ref>''Halo: Contact Harvest'', pg. ??</ref><ref>''Halo 4: Forward Unto Dawn Part I''</ref> There are also TTR grenades<ref>''[[Halo: Evolutions - Essential Tales of the Halo Universe]]'', "[[Dirt]]", pg. 122</ref> and claymores.{{Ref/Reuse|HCH}} | | The rounds are known to be used in [[MA5B ICWS Assault Rifle]]s, [[M6]] Magnum Sidearms, and [[BR55]] Battle Rifles <ref>''[[Halo: Contact Harvest]]''</ref> |

| A less advanced version of a tactical training round is used in the [[paint pellet gun]].

| [[Lieutenant Commander]] [[Jilan al-Cygni]] used two TTR shots to knock Governor [[Nils Thune]] unconscious and end his resistance to the evacuation plan for [[Harvest]] during the [[First Battle of Harvest]].
| | * The paint is said to have a sweet smell to it. |
| | | * The paint has a potent toxic chemical that could be derived from an exotic flora. |

| | *If the paint hits an object and splatters on someone, they can still be paralysed. |

| | *The paint can be adapted to use in claymores. |
