I've seen this stuff a million times online and in magazines. Has anyone ever been ballsy enough to actually buy it and see what happens? From what it sounds like it would be safe to shoot in your backyard or basement even with the proper set-up. It does not cycle semi-autos so the slide would have to be racked after each shot, but I think this would be more gratifying, and cheaper, than using snap caps (at the range), or for firing after drawing from the holster, etc. Even for malfunction drills since you must rack the slide anyway. Any opinions? experience? Thanks.

I believe someone here once told me that they had some of this stuff and it had enough velocity to penetrate plywood. I think it was AJames.

Definitely did not sound like something you'd want to shoot in your basement.

I don't even have a basement.

Not something I would regularly train with. Muscle memory can do funny things. I've heard of LEO's back in the day who trained to fire two shots and reload so often that they did it during actual gun fights without thinking. I wouldn't want to get into a self defense situation and eject half my rounds on to the ground because I'm racking the slide after every shot.

And people say IPSC is bad.

That stuff is good for malfunction drills.

That's what I thought. It seems like it'd be great. Bang- click- uht oh- tap-rack-bang. Same goes for if you're going to draw and only take one shot.

$1.69 for 36 rounds?
$36.97 for 864 rounds?

That's cheap. That's really cheap. That's almost 22LR cheap. It says it's as accurate as ball ammo upto 50' so it might be worth while for some super cheap plinking

That's cheap. That's really cheap....

That's why I'm tempted to get it just for fire drills.... no sense in spending 12c a round when you can spend 4c and accomplish the same thing.
