The TTR round 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 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 TTR round has a plastic polymer shell that helps maintain the actual characteristics of bullet flight.

*The proximity fuse will stop you from firing through a narrow gap or chain-link fence as it will dissolve in mid-air. Thus, in training you could stand in the open, and as long as your opponents are on the other side of a fence, you are safe. | *The proximity fuse will stop you from firing through a narrow gap or chain-link fence as it will dissolve in mid-air.
