Finally, it looks like there may just be an American-made alternative to Simunition for force-on-force training with semi-auto pistols, revolvers, and submachine guns. DefRev can’t wait to test this stuff out. This is what PDT Tech’s company literature has to say about their HydraMarker P.RO. Cartridges:
"Our line of (HydraMarker) P.R.O. Cartridges (patent pending) are a reduced energy, and nontoxic ammunition. Classified NLTA (Non-Lethal Training ammunition) cartridges for both IT’s (Inanimate Targets) and LT’s (Live Target) training applications. Choice of
either bullet configuration:

Sounds pretty good. We’d like to test PDT Tech’s Hydramarker P.R.O. Cartridges and weapon (approved safety) conversion kits as soon as possible.
