Canadian Forces Armoured Piercing Flechette Shot Discarding Sabot Tracer Dummy Training Round INERT 1

The Canadian Forces Armour Piercing Flechette Shot Discarding Sabot Tracer Dummy Training Round (INERT) is a non-functional military training item intended for instructional and display purposes. This training round simulates the form and key features of live armoured piercing ammunition used by Canadian military forces. It consists of a flechette projectile designed for penetration, housed within a discarding sabot that separates from the projectile upon firing in operational rounds. The tracer component is visually identifiable but inert in this example, with no functioning pyrotechnics. Manufactured for use in training environments, the round is permanently inert, containing no explosive, flammable, or hazardous materials. It typically features markings or physical modifications to prevent confusion with live ammunition. This type of round allows personnel to practice handling, loading, and operational procedures while ensuring complete safety. It represents standard military practice in simulating the handling of specialized projectiles without associated risks.
