COURSE DESCRIPTION

Realistic Firearms Training Without a Live Fire Range

The UTM system is a safe and effective training alternative to Live Fire for people of any skill level. With the use of safely converted pistols or AR-15 style rifles and UTM training ammunition, shooters experience full firearm function and realism while allowing them to train virtually anywhere, without the need for a live fire range. Our system allows you to safely convert any AR-15, as well as a variety of pistols, in seconds with no gun-smithing. The result is a gun that loads, fires, cycles and recoils like your live firearms but utilizing a low velocity, quiet target marking projectile.  While the firearm is converted, using the UTM system, it WILL NOT fire a live round, making it both safe and effective for training.  This technology was previously only available for Law Enforcement and Military personnel, but is now being offered to both instructors and responsibly armed citizens alike for the most realistic firearms practice available.

UTM Ammunition and Conversions are for:

New Shooters: Safely converting a live AR-15 or Semi-Automatic Pistol to fire only UTM is quick and easy and great for introducing beginners to both personal protection and the shooting sports without the intimidation or noise of the live fire range.

More Advanced Shooters: UTM allows you to replicate real-life environments and scenarios and safely challenge yourself with drills and practice that cannot normally be performed on most live fire ranges. Movement, 360 degree targets, utilizing cover or shooting around vehicles can now be a safe part of your realistic training sessions.

Instructors: UTM allows you to broaden your student base and expand course offerings by providing an ultra-safe and realistic training tool for your courses. You should be limited only by your imagination not by your equipment.
