My cousin was on an exercise in Germany where the Bundeswehr were definitely shooting projectiles at him with an MG3. I presume it was "Patrone AM32, 7.62mm × 51, DM18A1B1, Übung ("practice"), (Germany): 10-grain (0.6 g) 7.62×51mm NATO plastic training cartridge, plastic case cartridge colored light blue with a light 10-grain plastic bullet which is fired with a high initial velocity. Non-corrosive, steel base with lead free primer. Developed from the Norwegian NM8 and NM127 short range practice rounds made by Bakelittfabrikken. Non-reloadable due to the plastic case."
Depending on the propellant, I would think that after a certain range it would hurt like hell but be kinda like getting smacked real good with a rather larger airsoft BB. Give you a welt and turn you some new and fascinating shades of purple maybe.Sounds dangerous as fuck
Probably no more dangerous than CCMCK or paint markers. I had one stroke my watch on the face and break it. It was a G shock, I was surprisedSounds dangerous as fuck
I am thinking these are more similar to the SRTA rounds (M862) rather than CCMCK/UTM rounds. While plastic, M862 certainly has the capability of being lethal at close ranges.
Oh yeah without a doubt these would be dangerous to people/flesh at closer distances. I was referring to your description of the training rounds being used and dorn saying it sounded dangerous.
