Force on Force Unveils 9mm Marker Rounds

Force on Force, a manufacturer of non-lethal ammunition and gear for live-action, reality-based training scenarios, is offering a line of 9mm marker rounds for duty pistols and rifles.

These rounds are lead-free, which means they’re safer for indoor use, as well as being environmentally responsible and immune to lead contamination. Another advantage is that the marking agent never dries, making it easy to wash clothes and clean up. These 9mm marker rounds come in recyclable aluminum cartridge cases, are propellant-free, boast an extra-long shelf life, offer less fouling compared to other products in this space, and come with felt recoil similar to duty rounds.

Force on Force’s 9mm marker rounds are available in five different colors: Blue, Green, Red, White, Yellow. See below for additional features and technical specifications.
