'''Tactical training rounds''' ('''TTR'''), also known as '''tactical lockup rounds''' ('''TLR''')<ref>''[[Halo: Silent Storm]]'', Chapter 5</ref> and occasionally referred to as '''stun rounds''',<ref>''[[Halo 4: Forward Unto Dawn]]''</ref> are a type of training ammunition used to simulate live fire.<ref name="HCH">''[[Halo: Contact Harvest]]'', pg. 215</ref> | |||

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 name="HCH"/> | The TTR has a plastic polymer shell that helps maintain the actual characteristics of bullet flight.
