They are paintball rounds.

SwampHunter is right. Those are Simunitions, which allow you to fire practice paint through a regular gun. I have found a ton of those detecting some areas that have been used for law enforcement training.

And if you get shot at fairly close range they will leave a bruise ...d2

I have found a few like that around an OLD church and had assumed they were for birdshot to keep pigeons away.

i could be wrong but i seen them before i think they are called wadcutters. used for paper targets. good hunting roadrunner.

 

[chong2]

wadcutters are still lead, they are not pointed,the bullet is flat, that way they pop holes out of the target, laike a hole punch

I've seen similar that shoot wax bullets for indoor practice and police training on projected shoot/don't shoot training situations on a wall screen. Maybe paintball is the next generation?

Yep. Wax "live fire training" rounds.

My commanding officer orders them from here:

I didn't know they had several models as we have only used the paint ball style rounds.
