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 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 body part that is hit, simulating a bullet wound to that 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 anesthetic in the paint can also knock someone unconscious for up to a few hours, depending on where they are shot. | ||
The rounds | The rounds are known to be used in [[MA5B ICWS Assault Rifle]]s, [[M6]] Magnum Sidearms, [[SRS99C-S2 AM Sniper Rifle]]s, and [[BR55]] Battle Rifles <ref>''[[Halo: Contact Harvest]]''</ref> | ||
==Trivia== | ==Trivia== | ||
* The paint is said to have a sweet smell to it. | |||
*If the paint hits an object and splatters on someone, they can still be paralysed. | |||
*The paint can be adapted to be used in claymores. | |||
*The proximity fuse will stop you from firing through a narrow gap or chain-link fence. Thus, in training you could stand in the open and, as long as your opponents are on the other side, you are safe. | |||
