UTM ammunition is intended to enable the conduct of realistic force-on-force training. Live weapons are converted into launchers firing projectiles that are safe for health and contain marking capsules. The point of impact is marked with a colored spot. A hit may result in no more than slight discoloration of exposed skin. However, when using such ammunition, eye protection and protection for other sensitive areas remain mandatory. Face and neck protective masks are typically used during firing.
