Built with the same revolutionary \u003cb data-index-in-node=\"139\" data-path-to-node=\"3\"\u003eCrush Factor™ Technology\u003c\/b\u003e, these .68 caliber projectiles are designed for realistic, high-stakes training without the use of active irritants. By utilizing pre-formed 360-degree breakpoints, these rounds shatter consistently upon impact to release a highly visible, non-toxic marking powder. This allows users of any .68 caliber platform to verify their accuracy, practice tactical drills, and build muscle memory with a round that mimics the exact flight and fragmentation characteristics of live ammunition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-path-to-node=\"4\"\u003eKey Features \u0026amp; Performance\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul data-path-to-node=\"5\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"5,0,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-index-in-node=\"0\" data-path-to-node=\"5,0,0\"\u003eCrush Factor™ Fragmentation:\u003c\/b\u003e Engineered with the same advanced hybrid-shell technology as our active rounds, ensuring 100% reliable breakage on targets to provide immediate visual feedback.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"5,1,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-index-in-node=\"0\" data-path-to-node=\"5,1,0\"\u003eInert Marking Powder:\u003c\/b\u003e Each round is filled with a non-toxic, non-irritating powder that creates a distinct \"puff\" on impact, allowing you to clearly see where your shots land.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"5,2,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-index-in-node=\"0\" data-path-to-node=\"5,2,0\"\u003eRealistic Ballistics:\u003c\/b\u003e Perfectly balanced to match the weight and aerodynamics of MAXIMUS Defense rounds, ensuring your practice results translate directly to real-world defensive performance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"5,3,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-index-in-node=\"0\" data-path-to-node=\"5,3,0\"\u003eAnti-Clumping Technology:\u003c\/b\u003e The internal powder is formulated to stay loose and dry, preventing \"caking\" and ensuring a consistent cloud every time the shell shatters.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"5,4,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-index-in-node=\"0\" data-path-to-node=\"5,4,0\"\u003eSafe for Indoor Ranges:\u003c\/b\u003e Because the payload is inert, these rounds are ideal for use at training facilities or outdoor practice areas where chemical irritants are not permitted.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"5,5,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-index-in-node=\"0\" data-path-to-node=\"5,5,0\"\u003eUniversal .68 Caliber Fit:\u003c\/b\u003e A premium practice upgrade for any reloadable launcher, rifle, or pistol on the market that utilizes the .68 caliber standard.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-path-to-node=\"6\"\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul data-path-to-node=\"7\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"7,0,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-index-in-node=\"0\" data-path-to-node=\"7,0,0\"\u003eAmmunition Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Inert Marking Projectile (Non-Irritant)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"7,1,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-index-in-node=\"0\" data-path-to-node=\"7,1,0\"\u003eCaliber:\u003c\/b\u003e .68 Caliber\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"7,2,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-index-in-node=\"0\" data-path-to-node=\"7,2,0\"\u003ePayload:\u003c\/b\u003e Inert Powder\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"7,3,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-index-in-node=\"0\" data-path-to-node=\"7,3,0\"\u003eShell Technology:\u003c\/b\u003e Crush Factor™ Fragmentation\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"7,4,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-index-in-node=\"0\" data-path-to-node=\"7,4,0\"\u003eCompatibility:\u003c\/b\u003e All .68 Caliber reloadable launchers\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"7,5,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-index-in-node=\"0\" data-path-to-node=\"7,5,0\"\u003eColor Coding:\u003c\/b\u003e Distinctly colored for easy identification as a training round\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-path-to-node=\"8\"\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"9\"\u003e\u003cb data-index-in-node=\"0\" data-path-to-node=\"9\"\u003eCan I fire these at people during training?\u003c\/b\u003e No. Even though the powder is inert and non-toxic, these projectiles travel at high velocities and are designed to shatter.

While it is generally easy to brush off or vacuum, it may leave a temporary mark on porous surfaces. We recommend practicing on dedicated training targets.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"11\"\u003e\u003cb data-index-in-node=\"0\" data-path-to-node=\"11\"\u003eAre these rounds reusable?\u003c\/b\u003e No. MAXIMUS Training Rounds are single-use projectiles.

MAXIMUS Training Rounds use Crush Factor™ shells to ensure they break every single time, giving you a realistic representation of how MAXIMUS Defense Rounds behave.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"HERO Defense Systems LLC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46077070868733,"sku":"MAX-JAR-PBT","price":68.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0292\/6667\/3796\/files\/Maximus-Trainer.jpg?v=1740778338","url":"https:\/\/hero-defense-systems.myshopify.com\/products\/maximus-training-rounds","provider":"HERO Defense Systems LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
