Don't tell this guy.

LOL! Not the same thing, but I wonder if they are banning those too?

I never did get around to buying any.

BATFE making their own laws again. I guess it doesn't matter that the Supreme Court told they and the EPA can't do that.

I just checked and was able to put some in my cart.
That isn't to say that its in stock though. That website looks like it's been in use since dinosaur times.
Can't afford it now anyway, so if it's gone, it's gone.

I'm not seeing what the point is banning these.

That said, they are expensive and require a kit. I have used Simunition before and it is pricey stuff. For the average Joe, a top quality airsoft gun will do the same thing for less money.

The blue DAG ammo is a whole different deal. As I understand the Germans made that for marksmanship training in urban areas and it wasn't designed or meant for shooting other people for training and can be lethal within certain distances. I know people have used it for coyotes and small pests. I have shot a case or so myself and I've seen it has enough of a punch to be lethal.
